A better gnome flickmace

[asthyril]

I had AI create a better gnome flickmace image since the one in the player core is simply a flail, this image makes it both more complicated and humorous imo
go to combat bilboquet

I am actually suspecting that this is not a bot. Though the post has many of the markers for it.

Perhaps a hacked account.

That is a bastard half spawn of a peppermill and a ball on a stick game.

yes, the name of that game is bilboquet, that was the point. the peppermill is what chatgpt came up with.

This would probably be a better fit in homebrew?

I admit I was also kinda disappointed by the flickmace being a flail

I always imaginined it as a mace with a telescope mechanism that extends with the swing and then automatically retracts by internal spring mechanisms or something

exactly this. gnomish creations typically have some mechanics to them, in some weird science-ish sort of way. the flickmace being just a flail goes against the way paizo has always described the way gnomish inventions work. having someone create an artists rendition of a combat yo-yo on a stick, or my combat bilboquet game, would have been much better version of a gnomish weapon, and still fit the text description of the gnome flickmace

im not an artist looking to get paid, im not submitting this for use in one of their books. i am simply pointing out how disappointing and lazy the image for this weapon was in the player core. if they are just going to make it a normal flail, they could have used that space for artwork for a different special weapon, and not have an image for the flickmace at all. the previous book didn't have an image for it.

Hopefully in PF3 gnomes and their flickmaces can disappear back to the First World for good.

You complain that the gnome flickmace in PC1 is just a flail, but the AI picture is just a flail with a fancy handle (that gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever) so it doesn't really feel like an improvement.

I've always imagined the gnome flickmace as a weaponized paddle ball.

You know, because it "flicks."

AI generated images psyop'd me into believing in the soul. These things are so horrible to look at

I always pictured the Flick Mace as something akin to a deadly Chinese Yo yo.
