08-20-06, 07:01 AM Probably been brought up before, and this is really my first attempt at something like this:

Non-magical Chain-blades:
(It's basically just a one-handed spiked chain....)

Exotic One-handed weapon
Damage: 1d6
Critical: x2
Reach: 10 ft
Type: Slashing

A chain-blade is weapon that can be used against adajecent targets. It can be used to trip opponents, if you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you may drop the chain-blade to avoid being tripped. Grants a +2 on disarm attempts.

Needs improving, but I can use it as a base for The Blades of Chaos:

Blades of Chaos
Magical Exotic One handed weapons.

This pair of +5 Anarchic Flaming Chain-Blades are forever fused to the welders arms. The Blades have a increased of reach, they can strike at enemies 15ft away.

I'll do some updating soon, please tell me what you think.

08-20-06, 12:18 PM the weapom you want is called the kusari-gama, and it is on page 145 of the DMG. it is a small sickle attached to a length of chain. it is a light, exotic melee weapon that has reach, threatens adjacent foes, and does 1d6 slashing with a x2/20 crit. you also can trip with them, apply weapon finesse, and you get a +2 on disarmm checks.

08-21-06, 12:20 AM Dragonseth, What issue please??

Rochlar, I don't think the kusari-gama fits the idea at all. Have you even played the game?

Chaz100, you did a good job on the weapons, don't let the biters get you down. :D

Thanks Tower_of_Pain, I wonder what Kratos's stats would be....

I'm sure someone somewhere has statted him out. He's got a wide array of abilities, so I doubt it would be an easy task statting him in d20.

Edit: On statting Kratos, there's no way you could do it. He suffers from the "action-hero" syndrome that he's good at EVERYTHING. It is very hard to have a character with enough Dex for the TWF tree, the Str necessary to rip things in half, the Con to take that much of a building, and the mental stats and magical ability to do all those powers he's given. When I tried making him, I had to completely ignore his magical powers and make him a Barbarian (it fit), but working in the TWF tree was hard.
