Flashlight baton

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

A flashlight baton, also called a flashclub or "flub," is a flashlight that, by virtue of its weight, balance and rugged construction, can be used offensively as a club or baton. Thus it serves two fundamental needs of those searching the dark for trouble: illumination and weaponry. Most are designed for police or military use. Since their manufacturers don't generally advertise that their products can administer a beating as well as take one, users find the right brand through word of mouth or discover it by trial and error. Some user can rig their own by modifying a flashlight that's not up to the task right out of the box. Flashlight use removes penalties for acting in darkness. When used as a weapon, the flashclub has a Damage rating of 2 bashing, and doesn't suffer the usual -1 penalty for improvised weaponry.

Acquisition

• Grey market, as those flashlights tough enough to use as weapons are not advertised but are no more illegal then owning a baseball bat.
