[QUOTE="Trellian, post: 618055, member: 1843"] First off, let me say that master of the chains is one of the most interesting prC's out there. And the spiked chain is THE most powerful weapon! I play a rogue/fighter as well, 5th level, so she isn't master of chains yet... and in the campaign where I dm, one of them is playing an 8th level character, 3 levels of MoC. The MoC has some very good class feats (Superior weapon focus, specialization), and some not as good (chain climbing). As for choice of magic weapons, I would recommend a magical spiked chain +1 (2000), since you won't expect to find many on adventures. Also, boost up your strength in order to more effectively trip your foes. Gauntlets of Ogre power (4000) will do. Spend some on a Cloak of Resistance as well... I think a +2 cloak is 4000. All your saves will be raised by 2. Since you cannot use a shield, purchase an Amulet of Natural Armor +1 (1000). Use the rest on mundane gear.. maybe a bow and some healing potions! One thing you have to remember is that you can actually have another PC standing between you and your foe... but this gives the enemy a +4 cover bonus. It says in the rules that if you hit the cover instead, you don't inflict any damage (the shaft hit him etc), but in the case of the spiked chain, i have ruled that you do (since the chain does not have a shaft and is covered with spikes almost everywhere). So beware of this... Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
