Chainwhip
Rare 100 GP
Described in: Codex v1.5
Nicknames: spin cycle / free hugs!
Description
Yojimbos defecting to Avalon sometimes bring interesting Nodachi technology with them. The chainwhip is one of them.
More than just an elongated chainsaw, this weapon is a length of interlocking metal links that serve as a backbone for dozens of individual sawing mechanisms. When not in use it stays coiled around a handle, ready to be unfurled with a flick of the wrist to its battle length. The main ‘links’ are sturdy enough to wrap around powerful creatures without risk of breaking. The teeth on each of the cutting chains are made of tungsten carbide, capable of easily cutting through steel and concrete. The chainsaw segments rotate with enough force to keep the main structure of the weapon steady, allowing it to bend and perform precise strikes when in the hands of a competent Knight. One of its highlights is its ability to grip metal, stone, flesh, and bone, and latch onto it like a ravenous shark, holding a target fast while simultaneously shredding it.
