Jan 26, 2015 · I've been looking at the whip and considering whether/how it can be effective as a weapon. What are your thoughts? Offhand, I have trouble seeing a good use for the whip. Its 1d4 damage makes it sub-optimal for any class that relies heavily on weapon damage dice. Because it's not light, you...

Jul 21, 2019 · I am thinking of building a whip using character and was wondering how to optimize the whip as a weapon. I am thinking pally for smites or rogue for sneak attack. The hexblade may also be good. How would you do it? Thanks.

Feb 25, 2011 · A one level dip in the Lasher Prc from Sword and Fist (3.0 but the PRC was not updated so, meh.) Allows you to make Aoos with your whip but only at 5 feat, it also lets you deal lethal damage with a whip. If you are against using 3.0 material the Crimson Scourge prc from city scape lets you deal lethal damage with non-lethal weapons without the -4 penalty. A one level …

Jun 28, 2020 · I have a mutli-class warlock rogue and the character has a whip he got with his background, he is proficient in it as a hexblade. Here is the idea - whip in one hand, short sword in the other. Go in and cast booming blade sneak attack with the shortsword, then disengage as a bonus action and move 10 feet away (still in whip reach).

Nov 10, 2019 · A magic whip that could entangle an opponent (like a Rope of Entanglement) could be fun. Unless they already do that in 5E -- I've never used a whip in this edition. Or maybe the whip gives the wielder a chance to disarm his opponent on a hit (or snatch away a similar item held in the hand).

Apr 24, 2017 · Would this item be appropriate for a 5th level character? Whip of Entanglement: Magical whip, +1 attack and damage, which can, upon hitting (player's choice), restrain a humanoid (or humanoid shaped) creature (at the DM's discretion) as per the Entanglement spell. This can be done 3 times...

Jan 13, 2021 · There are 7 blade, 9 hammer, 4 axe, 5 bow, and 4 polearm options, but only 1 whip option. Irl whips range from 3-10 feet on average with some special whips that exceed that. I'd like to see a Bullock whip in 5e, 2 handed, easily 15' reach. Or a snake whip that does 1d6 but has a str req and no finesse.

Aug 15, 2006 · My new character in my new game is a Bard. I have decided to go whip-crazy in combat. My feats are currently: Combat expertise, Improved Trip, and Improved Disarm. My next two feats will be Weapon Focus: Whip and weapon Finesse. I dont really care about doing damage, I just want to fruatrate my...

Jul 8, 2011 · The Whip dagger, Mighty whip, Mighty whip dagger and the Lasher prestige class all did not make it to 3.5. The only conclusions I can think of is that WotC re-considered and wanted the whip to remain a weak weapon. I'm looking myself too, cause I want to make some slavedriver monsters. There were a lot of other harder to imagine weapons in those books that also didn't …

Apr 26, 2005 · Can someone explain the nuiances of tripping with a whip to me? In our last adventure, the DM brought out a whip wielding orc who was using two whips to trip numerous party members and gain attacks of opportunity for what seemed like days.
