Talk:Chained Weapon (3.5e Equipment)

I decided to make this to replace my list of chained swords, so I don't clog this wiki with a crapton of almost identical articles.The Dire Reverend 03:38, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Trip

Can you trip people with it?--Parakee^Talk 12:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes. You can trip anyone with anything in D&D, as Tripping is a basic combat action.

Do you get bonuses to trip people with it... um, no idea, ask Dire Rev.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 14:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the long wait on the reply, but I don't think tripping anyone with such an item would be easy or practical, depending on the object attached to the chain. Imagine the look on a DM's face when the player mentions his Greatsword on a chain provides a bonus to a trip attempt. So, for such an item with a broad range of utility, I'd rather keep no bonus to trip, just to make things not over complicated. Maybe I should add something about if your dm says it's okay to add a bonus...

Heck, a lot of my stuff says "Ask your DM about X." The Dire Reverend 09:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fair, if you have a tripping weapon on a chain, it's still a tripping weapon, giving it an advantage over non-trip weapons. -- Eiji-kun 10:43, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Imagine the devistation...

...Of a Chained Whip wielded by a character with Improved Whip Proficiency, and Combat Reflexes. A Medium creature now has a 20 foot reach, and anyone trying to get within melee range will have a fun time doing so. The Dire Reverend 22:37, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

...

Are you whipping people with a chain or chaining people with a whip?--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 04:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Both. At the same time.--Stryker 11:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
