I think the game has room for spiked chains and dire flails, if they're thought out a bit more.For instance, Eberron's Valenar elves use the double scimitar. Look at the official look of that weapon:<img src="http://dndonline.gameamp.com/modules/info/uploads/race_94.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> When I did the picture of a Valenar elf, I tried to turn the double scimitar into something that is at least marginally useable:<img src="http://www.enworld.org/Pozas/Pictures/Illustration/elf_valenar.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> See how the grip was extended to allow a wielder to hold it like a staff, and how the blades actually look like scimitars?For the dire flail, it can be done if you don't make it with a long chain (which is fine for light flails). It could be done as a short-ish staff with two hinged ends (no more than a link or two), like the heavy flail in this picture I did way back:<img src="http://www.enworld.org/Pozas/Pictures/Classes/cleric.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> In Episode 1, Darth Maul wields the dual-bladed lightsaber, which is based on a Star Wars comic book weapon. Look at the original Exar Kun weapon:<img src="http://images.wikia.com/pt.starwars/images/thumb/6/6a/Exarkun.jpg/200px-Exarkun.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> The handle is no longer than a regular lightsaber handle. When time came to build the prop for Episode 1, Ray Park (who plays Darth Maul) said that the weapon, as designed, would be impossible to wield. He worked with the design department until they reached a comfortable length for the weapon:<img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MELLO/15781~Darth-Maul-Posters.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Cool and Realistic don't need to be mutually exclusive.</blockquote>
