Einhardt's Meteorang

• The meteorang's combined weight and capable swinging force can cause a relatively innocent looking weapon to strike with the force of a heavy club swing from a much stronger person.
  
• Once momentum has been built up, this weapon has excellent mid-range superiority, making it difficult for an opponent using a close-range weapon to close in for a strike without excellent finesse or reflexes.
  
• Wire can be used to trip up or bind unwary opponents.

• If an opponent does manage to make it into close range, the meteorang becomes no better than a large rock to be used as a bludgeoning tool or the wire no better than garrote.
  
• A build up of momentum is required to make the weapon truly formidable. Without building speed through swinging, its effectiveness is only about half as efficient as it could be.
  
• Being such a complicted and difficult weapon to use in combat, it can be fairly easy to turn the user's own momentum against them with a few precise movements.
