Tian Weapon Training Boon and Spiked chain

[JOHN DICKERSON]

I was wondering if Spiked Chain was an exotic weapon the Tian Weapon Training boon could grant proficiency with. It's not explicitly listed on the table mentioned by the boon, but it is listed under Tian weapons that Lantern Lodge PCs can spend prestige points to gain profiency with.

The text of the boon only allows weapons from the named table.

That's the whole point of it being named Tien weapon training. Since the spiked chain is not listed on that table, then no.

[Black Powder Chocobo]

Not sure what's on the list since I don't have the boon, but the Sansetsukon (three-section staff) is an awesome weapon that outshines the spiked chain in almost everyway. 1d10 damage, 19-20 crit range, and replaces trip with blocking. If that's available, use that instead :)

[Jiggy]

But is it finessable? ;)

@The OP: If you're really set on the spiked chain, consider making a half-orc. If you have the APG or ARG, there's an alternate racial trait to make the spiked chain a martial weapon for you instead of "orc" weapons.
