Prerequisite: Warlord, Rending Chains Warmaster feat
Chainbinders help their allies by constricting their enemies in spiked chains. This brutally efficient method of restraining your foes means that chainbinders tend to be grim and driven, leading more by a show of force than by clever strategems or personal charm. Chainbinders emerge from harsh circumstances, including goblin fighting-pits, the arenas of decadent city-states, and the brigands of lawless lands. Their ranks include hard-hearted mercenaries, gang leaders, and gladiators.
Chainbinder Path Features
Binding Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack with a flail and that attack hits, you can grab one creature hit by the attack.
Hindering Grasp (11th level): Any creature grabbed by you grants combat advantage.
Warlord's Chains (11th level): Choose one of the following warlord at-will powers that you know: brash assault, intuitive strike, or wolf pack tactics. The chosen power becomes associated with the Rending Chains Student feat, gaining its benefit.
Shredding Escape (16th level): Whenever an enemy shifts and would take damage from your Rending Chains Warmaster feat, you can instead deal ongoing damage to the enemy equal to your Strength modifier (save ends).
