Spiked Chain Question

[GrayIguana]

Can a character use the spiked chain to gain an extra attack per round as if the charcter were fighting with two weapons?

I couldn't seem to find this information. I know the weapon is two-handed for a medium size character, but I wasn't sure if it allowed an additional attack with the character's off-hand.

Thanks.

Not normally. You can with the Kusari-kama, but not with the Spiked chain.

I seem to remember a feat / Prc that let you do it? Maybe master of chains or something???

It is indeed the Master of Chains.

Thanks guys. And such a quick response.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the master of chains PrC from Sword and Fist allowed for that as a special ability.

It is treated like any other double weapon, where the off hand attack is considered a light weapon. When using it as a double weapon, though, your reach changes to 5', I believe...

theres also the Exotic Weapon Master (from Complete Warrior) stunt of Flurry of Striker that lets him make an extra attack with a Spiked Chain, albeit at a -2 penalty to all attacks that round.

I recall reading somewhere that you can use a spiked chain as a double weapon, but in doing so you only threaten 5' (instead of the normal 10').

I have no idea where it was though...

That's the Master of Chains PrC people are talking about

I usually allowed everyone to take that ability as a feat. Had one players nearly starting to cry as his Psywar/Ftr 8 didn't have enough feats to get all he "needed urgently".

I think he wanted: Exo Weap Pro, WF, WS, TWF, ITWF, TWD, ITWD, C-Exp, Imp Trip, Imp Dis, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind. Plus that extra feat for the ability. I think he wanted Close Quarters Fighting as well. And something else. Some psionic stuff.

Ah right. Combat Reflexes and Expert Tactician. And some Prone Attack stuff. And...

Oa

That's how the weighted chain works in OA. Same stats as a spiked chain, but bludgeoning damage.
