You can treat the spiked chain as a doubleweapon and a light blade. As a double weapon, thespiked chain deals 2d4/2d4 damage, and it gains theoff-hand property. For more on double weapons, seeAdventurer’s Vault, page 10.It allows the wielder to treat the spiked chain as a double weapon (not to mention a light blade, so that's good for rogues).  It says that the weapon gainst the off-hand property, but it says nothing about gaining the DEFENSIVE property. Unless I'm mistaken, it was the fact that double weapons were BOTH off-hand and defensive that made them so overpowered for tempest fighters, no?  I wonder is this is indicative of WOTC acknowledging the problem and future steps to fix it.  Have I missed an errata somewhere?</blockquote>
