11-25-06, 04:38 PM My friend has declared we will do a one shot undead hunting game, but there's a serious twist. The party will not have ANY magic equiptment, ranging from weapons to pots to scrolls and wands.

Characters are 32 point by starting at level 6. I'm thinking of doing a Human warblade 4/fighter 2, taking EWP: Chain weapon, Imp Trip, Combat Reflexes and Power Attack.

I'm wondering if it would be worth it to take one of the spiked chains from OA as my ewp because a few of them have slash/bludgeoning damange and I could switch off as needed depending on the kind of undead we're facing. The major sacrifice for flexability would be damange, the Spiked Chain does 2d4 vs 1d6 on the OA chains.
