While a fan would be an odd weapon of choice, the tactical advantages ate rather broad. As stated, it could act not only as a large shield when combined, but both direct gusts of dust, extend thin blades from the ribs for slashing and stabbing, even be used to achieve flight in some manner.But further, when used in martial arts in Asia, it was a weapon built of stealth, a weapon hidden in the hand of a young damsel. In that thought, one can gain an advantage over a given force: like the briefcase minigun, it's most effective when the enemy fails to perceive the true threat and is destroyed for it's trouble. So, knowing nothing about your character, your fans are like a wind carrying plague: an unseen force that moves about the ranks, reaping every grain it passes by with a seasoned hand. And that's Ferrus Ironclad's two cents.
