[QUOTE="Kyamsil, post: 38090, member: 2534"] Hi. I must say that when I saw the Spiked Chain in the PHB it was love at first sight :D . Even when playing on 2nd Edition I was thinking of a way to make chain weapons in the game (I must say that I was a fan of the Saint Seiya anime and that for me, the most powerful of the characters was Sun who used the chains of the andromeda suit of armor to great effect). I must also say that I expected that the Master of Chains PrC of Sword & Fist would at last make a character such as Sun playable, but instead they made him some sort of evilish "half-kyton". I was very dissapointed, so, I came up with my own PrC for a Master of Chains, that is called Chainwhirler. Chainwhirler Prestige Class HD:d8 Most Chainwhirlers are members of the Order of the Bound Dragon, an ancient tradition of mystic warriors that practice kusarigama, "the art of fighting with chain weapons". They are pacifists at heart and want to perfect their fighting style until opponents see that it is not worth the pain to fight with them. But there are others who know the secrets of Kusarigama but use them to be bullies wherever they go and become renegades of the Order.
