[QUOTE="Methos, post: 2125391, member: 5734"] [b]Love the Spiked Chain[/b] I've used the Spiked Chain for a couple of different characters including one build that was for a wizard who had a couple of fighter levels early on. He wasn't the most powerful spell caster in certain respects, but it sure surprised the crap out of NPC's who were not expecting this leather clad individual to be casting spells with some efficacy who could also do some pretty cool things in combat with the disarm/trip/combat reflexes/reach when he "slowly unraveled the spiked chain from underneath his cloak". I remember an especially satisfying encounter when I flew around a combat and took one some NPC spellcaster who thought he was nigh unstoppable. He was flying around with a protective globe of invulnerability and some other protective magic casting damage spells at us. He didn't think it was so funny when in 2 turns I pretty much took him down with my own flying caster carving him up with the spiked chain in mid-air. Try to imagine: "You notice the leather clad individual whispering arcane words and waving arcane symbols in the air" and go "phah, who cares" (NPC's reaction). Then the next turn comes up and..................."the same leather clad individual has unraveled a spiked chain from underneath his cloak and is now flying towards you on a full charge!!!!" Slice and dice time baby!! I did a critical hit (Improved crit feat) on the first turn, and then also carved him up pretty good with an attack of oppurtunity as he tried to dispel my own fly spell. It was pretty satisfying. [/QUOTE]
