Gyrspike stats

[Al'Kelhar]

Guys,

There's an exotic weapon called the gyrspike in Sword and Fist - half longsword, half light flail. Stats are 1d8/1d8 damage, crit 19-20 (presumably for both ends), trip weapon, +2 bonus to disarm checks.

This seems to me to be one of the optimum exotic weapons. It combines the cool bits of the light flail (trip, bonus to disarm) with the critical range of the longsword, so it beats both the dire flail and the two-bladed sword for flexibility. Has it been updated to v.3.5? If so, what are it stats?

Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Loooo-ove the Gyrspike

It's in the A&EG as well. Can't recall if it made it into Complete Warrior.

It's been called 'stupider than the dire flail', but I don't care. I love it

Nope, I've got Complete Warrior and it doesn't have new equipment. I was really wondering if it's in the v.3.5 super-duper equipment book, whatever it's called.

PS Ever made a ranger/fighter build with one of these beauties? I won't call myself a munchkin - more an "optimiser" - and this build just makes me feel dirty.
