[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6357457, member: 57383"] Good, that give us something to get started. Glancing through my books, the 1E [I]Oriental Adventures [/I]handbook's version of the Whip can make Entangling Attacks. Whips are a bit of a funny case in AD&D. In the 1E [I]Monster Manual[/I] they were a fairly common sidearm among humanoid enforcers (hobgoblin slavers, orc sergeants, et cetera) but there were no rules for them in the 1E [I]Player's Handbook[/I]. There were also monsters, such as the Type VI demon (balor) that had whips as a special attack, but each monster tended to have its own version of a "whip". The 2E [I]Player's Handbook[/I] at least has a whip listed, though it lacks the Entangling Attack ability of the [I]Oriental Adventures[/I] version. I'd be inclined to just give it the Entanglement attack. Mechanically we might treat that like a net with a rope on it, since the caster is holding on to the other end of the whip. Can we repurpose some of the text from the Veiled Maidens for that? Their veils have some similar traits. [/QUOTE]
