Snapdragyn said:How long is it, though? The article said 5 1/2' at most. Perhaps this is one of those areas where D&D physics (where a greatsword or rapier has no reach) has to outweigh RL physics for game consistencey? (I could certainly be persuaded otherwise on this, however.)
I've seen longer, with the ribbon-like blade capable of extending to about 8' or so. A skilled user could probably hit someone 10' away with one easily enough. I'm all for D&D physics trumping RL physics, but this is one weapon that I think in D&D terms works well to replicate what the spiked chain does.
