Magical Heavy Chains (3.5e Equipment)
Heavy Chains: These are magical heavy chains. These Chains are the unique weapon of the Mystic Wardens or however with proper training anyone could use these weapons provided they could handle the immense weight of these weapons and as such these weapons have a minimum required strength to use effectively of 15 (any less makes the chains cumbersome and imposes an attack ac penalty of 5). In addition the chain ends are modular and can be changed to alter the properties of the weapon significantly (doing so requires a blacksmithing (or equivalent craft/profession) check of dc 12 or higher and 1d4 hours). while wielding this weapon either head can be used separately as a 2-handed weapon and switching the used head is a free action (only up to 2 heads can be used at any given time). fighting with both is the equivalent of using a double weapon that is excessively heavy (double penalties as compared to a normal double weapon) and a minimum of 19 strength is required to do this at all. Also while wielding this weapon any effect/ability that allows for multiple target hits is disabled (including cleave feats) until the weapon is unequipped.

In addition these chains are wrapped around the wielder reducing dexterity by 2 but increasing AC by 2 (+1 for every 3 enchantment levels of the weapon (2 if a Mystic Warden or Mystic Warden Variant)) however all armor worn in addition to this is treated as heavy armor in every way and if already wearing heavy armor armor check penalties are increased by 3)
