I was hoping to get some ideas and feedback on a weapon id like to throw at my players.
In this episode they would be fighting the constellation of Andromeda to convince her to aid them on their journey. In the story of Andromeda, she is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster before Perseus saves her. Id like her to use the chains as a weapon.
I also understand that the spiked chains are a weapon but they don't really fit the image and one of my players is already wielding one.
I imagine this as a pair of weapons being dual wielded (each chain linked to a shackle around the user's wrists), and very heavy and cumbersome. This weapon would be bludgeoning damage. It would require a Strength score of at least 15 to wield, but would replace the Strength modifier of a melee weapon for your Dexterity modifier. The idea would be to swing these heavy iron chains around and use the gravity that they impose to deal damage (that's why I think they would belong to Dexterous characters)
They will have the trip, and reach qualities of a weapon
They would be considered to be an exotic two-handed weapon and would take a -6 and -10 penalty without the Two-Weapon Fighting feat
Damage wise I was thinking 1 die higher than the spiked chains. 2D6
I would really appreciate some feedback and assistance
