I have a PC in my gaming group who's a half-orc, wields a non-masterwork spiked chain, and worships Cayden Cailean. The party has just started into D1, and I suspect they'll be dealing with the

Spoiler:
The forge spurned effectively has a +3 flaming spiked chain as per the Soul Chain ability and its 30 links. Despite the armor and attack bonus, I'm willing to put money on this PC in particular wanting to destroy it (big anti-slavery back story). So, instead of not rewarding good RP, I was debating that when the PC sunders the chain, some of the trapped spirits pass through it, imbuing it with some of their power. Looking through the Second Darkness Player's Guide, Luthier's Rapier looks like a pretty nice item. Considering that if they sold the chain (which would have repercussions all its own) they'd get 24,000 gp, an RP-based treasure that costs about 5,000 gp doesn't seem so bad. I may knock the +4 to Charisma and versus fear off until it gets fitted with a ruby, but all in all, not a bad "trade".
Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.
