  • A spiked chain has reach, so a character wielding it can make attacks other than opportunity attacks on enemies either 1 or 2 squares away. No class has proficiency with the spiked chain as a class trait, but any character can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat or taking the Spiked Chain Training[Dr372:11] multiclass feat.

  • The spiked chain is a two-handed, exotic, melee reach weapon.
  • A spiked chain has reach, so a character wielding it can make attacks other than opportunity attacks on enemies either 1 or 2 squares away. No class has proficiency with the spiked chain as a class trait, but any character can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat or taking the Spiked Chain Training[Dr372:11] multiclass feat. Eladrin duelists are thought to be the first to employ this weapon, and its combination of speed and elegance supports that theory. The spiked chain delivers raking blows from a distance. Like a whip or a flail, it can also wrap around a foe’s legs to send that enemy tumbling to the ground.
