Synicism said:Hmmm. The monk I'm playing in my current game uses one. If you've ever watched Jet Li or Jackie Chan use a rope, belt, chain, or other similar weapon, that's how I envision carrying and wielding it. If you've ever seen Shanghai Noon, Jackie fights a bunch of gunfighters with a rope and a horseshoe and there are times when he carries it wrapped up around his arms and torso in such a way that he can disengage it and attack really fast, without entangling himself.

Cheesy? Maybe, though I don't know how to define cheese in a world where people fly around and throw fireballs at each other. But what's inefficient about them?Farland said:There are alot of cheesey weapons that don't exist in my world. Topping the list is the double flail and after that the double axe, closely followed by the double sword. Completely inefficient weapons for obvious reasons, I think.

And what do any of them have to do with the spiked chain?
