You have studied extensively with the spiked chain and are able to fight with it and display more skill and finesse than most would believe. You gain the following benefits:
- You may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier for attack and damage rolls you make with a spiked chain.
- You do not have disadvantage when you use a spiked chain to attack a target within 5 feet of you.
- When you take the Attack action and attack with only a spiked chain, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with it against an opponent within 5 feet of you. This attack deals normal damage, including your ability modifier.
- When you draw a spiked chain, you can do so in such a way that the weapon's reach property is negated, wrapping the chain around your arms and shoulders so you can only strike targets up to 5 feet away from you. If you do, you gain a +1 bonus to AC while wielding a spiked chain in this way. Switching a spiked chain to or from this position while it is already drawn requires a bonus action.
