Misc. 4e stuff

I saw this feat in Dragon magazine, and immediately thought of Six.

Spiked Chain Training [Multiclass]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, any martial class
Benefit: You gain proficiency with the spiked chain. You can treat the spiked chain as a double weapon and a light blade. As a double weapon, the spiked chain deals 2d4/2d4 damage, and it gains the off-hand property. For more on double weapons, see Adventurer’s Vault, page 10.

This basically makes it possible to make a good Ranger or Rogue wielding a spiked chain. A rogue could use it to sneak attack at reach, while a melee ranger could use two-weapon fighting with it, also at reach.

Hey I found the beast for my ranger.

That bear's no ninja, it's a MONK! Playful Bear style kung fu.

Isn't there a feat that raises unarmed damage to that of a club?

Not that I know of, but I haven't memorized 4e like 3e. You could pull it off via the Weapon Proficiency feat, which'll let you do d4+1 damage with an unarmed strike, which is the same average damage as a club (d6).

I don't know of any feat that'll do that either.

There is a magic item in the Adventurer's Vault called a Brawler's Belt. It's 3rd level, and it allows you to treat any improvised attack (including unarmed) as if you were hitting with a club.

That was it.
