Such as, say, the scimitar... which is the exact same weapon with a different accent.

ZappoHisbane said:I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the spiked chain is likely to be back, if only in the Monster Manual:
This of course is from the Desert of Desolation Minatures gallery. It's been stated that all but one of the figures in this set represent 4e monsters/characters. So there's only a 1/60 chance that Spiked Chains are gone. Don't hold your breath.
Ahglock said:That doesn't look that bad though, that looks like a chain with a dagger like spike on the end, not a spike lined chain. I liked the mechanics and concept behind a lot of exotic weapons they had some really bad art behind them though.
The dire flail one railed against for its improbability could probably pass the probability test if it was nearly a full sized staff with a short chain flail at each end.

Yeah, D&D's rules already let you wield a one-handed weapon in both hands for extra damage, so there's really no need to give a bastard sword special stats in the first place.Firevalkyrie said:The knight's arming sword, the pattern for the D&D longsword, had both one-handed and two-handed techniques. Does that make the longsword an "exotic weapon" then?
Well, that's not bad. Double-sword is a dumb idea, but double-spear isn't so unreasonable.Campbell said:Races and Classes depicts a tiefling fighter wielding what looks like a double-sword. The shaft is noticeably longer than the 3e double-sword and the blades at each end are shorter.
