Works out fairly nasty. Remember you don't need to have imp trip right off to trip spiked chain is a trip weapon. Don't worry about finessing it it is better to have a high strength and go for the two handed damage bonuses which you need to make up for the weak damage out put. A goliath at 4th level having the above feats (equal to a 5th level character) can do some serious damage with this using a large spiked chain 2d6 + strength and a trip at Str bonus +8 and a disarm bonus of +12 (+4 2 handed weapon +4 size +4 disarm, imp) to his normal attack.Take a -4 for power attack on an improved trip knock them down and then follow up with that +8 to damage at a normal chance to hit (Due to the -4 to ac for prone).Spiked chain should be used as an area control weapon.At 6th level get focus and specialized then maybe head for mage slayer as a feat and or exotic weapon master for the flurry of blows (extra attack at -2 that still allows for it being a 2 handed weapon so all the bones power attack damage and such applies) and the bonus trip ability for +2 more to trip. not much but every bit counts.just need one friendly mage of a magic item for enlarge self and go hog wild.later</blockquote>
