A '''whip''' is a light, one-handed [[Draft:Weapon|weapon]] that can entangle an opponent. Its low physical damage makes that movement restriction its main attraction. The separate [[Draft:Acid whip|acid whip]] shares its unidentified appearance.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|218}}; {{Source|iinit.h|254}}; {{Source|itemf2.c|307|317}}.</ref>

__TOC__

== Generation ==
[[Draft:Julie's Armor of Proof and Weapons of Quality|Julie's]] sells identified, uncursed +0 whips for '''200 Au'''. Whips also occur in random treasure, [[Draft:Knight's Pawn Shop|pawn-shop stock]] and [[Draft:Scroll of acquirement|acquirement]], with item level 2 for ordinary random generation. A found item labelled only ''whip'' does not establish whether it is the ordinary or acid variety, nor whether it is cursed.<ref>{{Source|site1.c|164|231}}; {{Source|site1.c|1022|1053}}; {{Source|item.c|7|41}}; {{Source|item.c|188|204}}; {{Source|effect1.c|713|728}}; {{Source|iinit.h|218|254}}.</ref>

== Entangling ==
On a landed attack, the whip has a '''50% chance''' to immobilize a target that lacks physical immunity. It then delivers an ordinary physical hit. Entangling does not require a positive damage roll, but physically immune creatures resist both the entangling effect and normal damage.<ref>{{Source|itemf2.c|307|317}}; {{Source|aux2.c|20|65}}; {{Source|mon.c|112|130}}.</ref>

Immobilization prevents ordinary movement; it is '''not paralysis'''. An adjacent victim can still attack, and ranged attacks or special abilities remain possible. The whip does not assign a timed recovery period to the effect. Special movement or other effects must be considered separately from the ordinary movement check.<ref>{{Source|mon.c|12|68}}; {{Source|itemf2.c|307|317}}.</ref>

Throwing a spare whip invokes the same entangling attack after a successful hit, then normally leaves it on the ground for recovery. The physical damage uses current character damage plus the throwing Strength bonus, not the spare whip's rating of 4. A cursed whip in use cannot be thrown.<ref>{{Source|command3.c|223|311}}; {{Source|itemf2.c|307|317}}.</ref>

As a striking weapon, it avoids the weapon-damage check on tunneling mishaps. Its digging contribution is only 4, however, so even a [[Draft:Club|club]] contributes more to breaking resistant walls.<ref>{{Source|command3.c|865|933}}; {{Source|iinit.h|208|218}}.</ref>

== Strategy ==
A whip can create room to withdraw from a physically vulnerable melee opponent, but first the hit must connect and then the entangling roll must succeed. Do not remain adjacent expecting a helpless target: step away once movement is restricted, and remember that a spellcaster or ranged attacker may still threaten you.

For straightforward melee damage, the cheaper [[Draft:Mace|mace]] has the same +8 hit and three times the base damage, at greater weight. A spare whip instead makes a compact ranged entangling option while another weapon supplies the character's damage. Recovery may require revisiting the opponent's position, so this is more suitable for a spare than for a weapon you cannot afford to leave behind.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|200|218}}; {{Source|command3.c|223|311}}.</ref>

The acid whip combines stronger ratings with acid damage and the same movement effect. It can harm some physically immune creatures, but physical immunity still prevents its entangling effect; neither variety provides universal crowd control.<ref>{{Source|itemf2.c|210|221}}; {{Source|iinit.h|254}}.</ref>
