Why would you use a whip o.O? How about dex pally with tonz of charisma?

lol any normal build works with a whip. Whips are a horrible weapon really but any build you'd like to do can work with a whip. xD

Yea whips suck, about 1d4 if i remember correctly, only good use that they have is that they are used by prostitutes before they start working lol, oh and Disarm, but you can get that as a feat.

cant you edit the price?

and i thought of a good dex halfling ftr/wm whip build. ofcourse i screwed it up and it still worked fine. 16 AB at lvl 7 ain't bad with 28 AC. and if i go into it i'll grab a level of ranger so i get the free 2 wep fighitng feats.

I can increase the cost, but not decrease.

Whips are terrible.. ranged weapon in melee combat, they trigger aoo's. You'd have to take Spring Attack to fight at less than half the power of a dagger.

you dont get any mroe range with a whip than any otehr melee weapon. you get just as close as you normally would.

In Pen and Paper they are. Still suck.

In P&P they have 15ft reach, deal 1d2 subdual damage, and you can make disarm and trip attacks with them. Attacking with one provokes an AoO, and you do not threaten any spaces with a whip (so no AoOs of your own). Whips deal no damage to creatures with a Natural AC bonus >= 3 or an armor bonus >=1.

Whips suck.

Well, if we're going to get into a debate over how much they suck, I'll... jump in!

Whips are horrible, no doubt. They are fun though. I made a pure ranger with a whip, terrible damage, yet it's loads of fun. My only problem is all the lower level whips suck donkey dumpster. They are tons of cool whips... costing over 100K. That leaves a level 20 to spend 90K on other equipment. What I suggest is taking away some of the affects that would give the whip an edge, and just putting pure damage on it.

Like.. the fire whip for example. 6800 gold for 1d2 damage + 1d4 fire. I think it should be like.. 1d8 atleaset. Even then, some boots will knock it out of the picture. Stack some different kind of damage on the whip, or is that bug still here? Like.. putting slashing damage on a dagger and getting 10 pericing resistance and it stopping both damage?

Whips do suck, however,... what build would be ' fun ' with them? Bards? Cleircs? Lol
