When I crafted the thread, my purpose was to throw something at my PCs that's a little different, but I quickly found that there was more mystique surrounding the spiked-chain build than actual substance.In reference to your arguments, check out the two pictures in Heroes of Horror in regards to the Tainted Minion and Tainted Reaver. These illustrations show a reasonable (at least in terms of fantasy) depiction of a spiked chain in action. For those without access to the book, two large rings act as handhold with a regular chain between them. On the other end of each of these handholds is the spiked part of the chain.This is good enough for me.[edit]her's the link: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20051014a&page=3" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20051014a&page=3</a>[edit]Anyway, thanks everyone for putting forward so many good ideas. My plans are to go for a dexterity build and have him surrounded by a few big boppers that can take advantage of any mayhem. I don't want to make the build so it is impossible for the PCs to win a trip check, just enough so that it's tough. If I was playing a PC build however, strength is obviously the way to go from what you're saying.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
