[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1123625, member: 259"] Go 'way now, players! Okay, here's my question. Kytons have the following special ability: [font=Times New Roman][b]Dancing Chains (Su): [/b]A chain devil’s most awesome attack is its ability to control up to four chains within 20 feet as a standard action, making the chains dance or move as it wishes. In addition, a chain devil can increase these chains’ length by up to 15 feet and cause them to sprout razor-edged barbs. These chains attack as effectively as the devil itself. If a chain is in another creature’s possession, the creature can attempt a DC 15 Will save to break the chain devil’s power over that chain. If the save is successful, the kyton cannot attempt to control that particular chain again for 24 hours or until the chain leaves the creature’s possession. The save DC is Charisma-based.[/font] My questions are these: 1) Do these chains each take up a 5' square when attacking? 2) Does the standard action the kyton takes allow him to make full attacks with all four chains -- i.e, two attacks/chain for a total of 8 attacks? 3) Must the kyton concentrate from round to round to continue the attacks? If not, what's the power's duration? 4) Does increasing the chains' length count as a standard action, or can he do this as a free action and then make the attacks? 5) If you're not clear on how it DOES work, how would YOU handle it in your game? Thanks! Daniel [/QUOTE]
