Spiked ChainsSpiked Chains (16): The zelekhut can take a Ready maneuver to unfurl spiked chains from his forearms or to retract them back. These chains deal swing 2d crushing, Reach 1-4*. The chains are awkward enough that they require a Ready maneuver to change reach (e.g., between 1 and 3). Otherwise, the zelekhut can strike at foes that are at any distance within the chains’ reach. Attempts to parry the chains are at -4, and fencing weapons cannot parry at all! Attempts to block chains are at -2. This swinging attack is unbalanced – the zelekhut cannot use it to parry if he have already used it to attack this turn (or vice versa), and parries with the chains are at -2. The zelekhut has two chain attacks, which permits him Dual-Weapon Attacks (p. B417). Spikes favor disarming, giving the zelekhut a +2 on disarming attempts. The chains have DR 4 and effective weight 0.84 lbs. This attack uses the Kusari skill.	16	The zelekhut can take a Ready maneuver to unfurl spiked chains from his forearms or to retract them back.

GCS ancestry draft: gcs/zelekhut.gct
Source template total: 596 points.
Library-rebuilt template total: 596 points.
CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 18, PR 45, CER 63, threat tier major.
Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 2. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
