Whip and ranged attacks

[Blaise The Magician]

When you use the whip/whip dagger you are doing a ranged attack. So ranged attack problems would affect it or??

Problems:

*a -4 penalty to attacks when attacking someone already in melee.

*Enemies can use AoO if the whip user is attacking in an threathed area.

*Can not threathen. This can be overcomed with the lasher PrC which gets a 5' threath area.

What do you think??

Yup. All ranged attack problems affect it. See the currently active lasher thread for more interesting commentary.
