Gotcha. Thats bonus DM points for you. I was trying to create a fighter with a pair of spiked gloves (tempest style) but unfortunately couldnt make it work. Im sure there are other options though.

Dec 28, 2009 19:28:46 If you are talking about 4e, then yes, I have a spiked chain wielding ranger that is as much fun to play as any character I've ever played, plus he does massive damage. I love the spiked chain, but you should know that every month there are rumors of it being nerfed. For a rogue with the right feats and powers a spiked chain can be pretty cheesy.

Leaves your hand slot free too for gloves.

Dec 31, 2009 21:37:42 I discovered that a StarLock had BETTER buy spiked gauntlets (future magic-up) - or something - after I went through a doorway and had to melee some guardians ... with my bare fists ... or take OAs for using Eldritch Blast on them. (I used the EB. d10 > d4). Good thing for me, CON is my secondary stat, so I can take one for the team now and then.
