    A weapon that has an incredibly high skill ceiling and floor, the whip is no slouch when it comes to controlling a fight, though that's where most of its strength lies. Individual hits with this weapon do not inflict deep wounds but can cause psychological damage to an opponent, creating pressure and openings where normally there wouldn't be any.

    Type Damage Damage Range
    Martial Melee 1d6 Slashing Melee, Reach of 10ft.
