Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Chainmail would not protect your from a flail. chainmail is really only protective against cutting/slashing. Chain does nothing for blunt force.
What would protect you against blunt force?
Plate or padding
Weren't war hammers specifically used to fight against plate?
Pretty much yes. Blunt force is kinda the apex. No amount of personal protection protects you enough when the force hits. With plate you would disperse it to kinda spread it through the area of the plate itself and with padding you would divert force into deformations of the padding. But given enough force neither of them protects you.
That being said those protective options are still the best there are against blunt force and that would remain until the introduction of firearms.
