D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Whip. Hows it work now?

[melkoriii]

I have a Lasher character and want to know what changes the 3.5 whip has.

Thanks

A Medium whip does 1d3 subdual (oops, sorry, "nonlethal") damage. It is treated as a melee weapon with a 15' reach; however using it provokes an AoO as if you were using a ranged weapon. You can use Weapon Finesse with a whip. Otherwise pretty much the same.

Wasn't there something about not threatening an area as well?

Correct.

Mmmmmm... Laaaaasheeeerr

And I guess in 3.5 a Kraken Lasher will still only threaten the 5' around it...

it provokes an AoO, doesn't threaten, and can be used within its reach range. On top of that it is a finesse-able weapon.

How is this not a ranged weapon?????

It doesn't automatically use your Dex mod for attack rolls.

There's no penalty to attacking opponents engaged in melee.

It doesn't work with Rapid Shot, Far Shot, Point Blank Shot, etc.

At a guess, PBS, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot no longer apply.

If they do, as more "exceptions", I'll be really confused

-Hyp.

so... has the size changed? I want to make more than one of the weakest weapons to use for disarming and tripping.

Eric said it's medium. In 3e, it was small.
