[QUOTE="Felix, post: 4103997, member: 3929"] Assuming the person who designed the weapon didn't have the Spiked Manrikigusari in mind. Youi're right: the picture of the Spiked Chain in the PHB is silly. And maybe I play my games on smaller tables or with more people than you do, but we never have room to lay our books out open on the table; they're always stacked somewhere within reach. I spend a lot more time in game visualizing my character than I do checking out the PHB illustrations. It would be as if someone who didn't like the picture of Tordek proceeded to argue that the Fighter was an absurd class. Bad picture? Check. Should the illustrator be smacked upside the head with a cluebat? Yup. Does an artist's bad depiction ultimately matter? Not if you can get over it and visualize it for yourself.
