Of course, the evil old snakeman never actually bothered to use it, much preffering his own claws when he was in the mood for eating humans, but he had it just in case. That is, until an adventuring band put him out of his evil misery and stole the unnamed whip, which they invariably called Serpent's Coil.This +2 acidic (+1d6 acid damage as any other elemental abilitiy (flaming, for example)) whip is fassioned from multiple pythons. Not thier skins, but the actual pythons, magically animated. The hilt is stone. Jutting from it is the whip's length. From the end to the hilt, it consists of four pythons. The head of the first is the end of the whip, and its jaws are wide open, fangs exposed. The first python's tail is being swallowed by the second python's mouth, whose tail is... you get the picture, until the fourth python's body flows right into the hilt. What this looks like from afar is that the whip has three knots in it, with a fourth serving as a weighted head.Besides it's base magicness, the whip has three properties. First, the snake head's fangs are poisionous, and every time it hits it injects the victim with Serpant Slime, a particularlly nasty poison.Serpent Slime: Fort Save DC 20. Primary damage: 3d6 acid damage. Secondary damage: Tainted One Template (Savage Species)The second ability is gross. Once per day, the pythons can each regergitate a length of the python they are swallowing. This increases the whip's reach by 10 feet, for a maximum of 10 rounds.The last ability is probably the most, uhh, awsome. It came about as the snakey shaman's finally wish, a last burst of magic powered by his own death. Should the holder of the Serpent's Coil in hand, the hilt will disintigrate, and the whip will become four Fiendish Large Pythons, which will attack anything in sight, enemy or ally.Requirements: 9th level caster, Must be able to cast Enlarge, Must have been bitten by a snake and injected with its venom.Material Components: Four large Pythons, the acidic fangs of a Yuan Ti halfbloodPrice: Masterwork Whip 315 gp+3 enhancement: 18000 gpPoision: 10000 gp (estimate, its pretty nasty stuff)Reach: 4000 gp (estimate)Snake thing: 5000 gpTotal: 37,315 gp{EDIT: Added fiendish snake ability, history, price}</blockquote>
