Talk:Bladed Whip (5e Equipment)

just a question, what can you do when you are restraining/grappling a creature?--Lord Survival (talk) 13:52, 5 April 2019 (MDT)

Basicly everything that would not need the hand that the whip is in, so casting spells, making a attack with an other one-handed weapon, or other stuff like that. --Poltrique (talk)

But it says "While holding this weapon with both hands, you can swing the chain at a Large, Medium, or Small creature and attempt to restrain it." Meaning that you can't do anything with the other hand.--Lord Survival (talk) 15:18, 9 April 2019 (MDT)

Yes, but after you restrain a creature, you no longer need to wield the whip with both hands so, at your next turn, you can use the weapon with only one hand, allowing any action that would not require the hand that's holding the weapon. --Poltrique (talk)

An Attempt to Remove Complication

Instead of leaving this thing how it is and putting the template back in a really dumb way, I'm just gonna propose a solution. This feature would replace all text below the fluff.

Special. While holding this weapon in two hands, you can use this weapon to grapple at a range of 10 feet. When doing this, you use your attack bonus for this weapon instead of any other modifier for the contested Strength(Athletics) check.

Do you see how simple this is? It doesn't need rules for breaking, specifications for things that are already specified, and it's a hell of a lot easier on the eyes. Simple, concise, and effective. I'd like to hear thoughts on implementing this. --SwankyPants (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2021 (MST)
