Most adventurers scoff at the idea of using a whip in combat. While
it is true that a simple whip is not particularly effective, there
are a variety of whips and flails designed specifically for combat,
and in the right hands they are every bit as deadly as any long
sword. Whips have a much greater range than the typical melee
weapon, and are often able to strike an opponent before he is close
enough to attack. Many experienced whip fighters can perform amazing
tricks with their weapon, such as snatching an opponent's weapon out
of his hand, or even ensnaring him with the whip and hurling him to
the floor. The effective use of a whip relies more on agility and
reflexes than on brute strength, making it a common choice of rogues,
mages, and psions.

Leather Whip
A simple leather whip, a strike from this weapon will sting, but not
much more.
Black Whip
Unlike the Leather Whip, this is a whip designed for combat. It is
made from heavy, black leather, and reinforced with metal studs.
Chain Whip
Made of lightweight mythril chain links, this weapon deals
respectable damage, but is as light as a normal leather whip.
Beast Whip
Typically used by beast trainers, this whip is especially effective
against lions, tigers, wolves, and the like.
Hammer Flail
The Hammer Flail is a long chain with a heavy hammer attached, blunt
on one end and pointed on the other. Because of its poor balance, it
must be used with two hands, but the damage it deals when it connects
is worth it.
Scourge
This nasty weapon has nine long tails instead of one. The end of
each tail is studded with a metal spike, causing even more pain.
Razor Whip
The tail of this black leather whip is lined with numerous tiny
razors. These blades give the whip a deadly bite as they slice their
victim apart.
Blitz Whip
This is a chain whip charged with magical electricity, and delivers a
lethal shock to its target.
Gigas Flail
Gigas Flails are heavy chains with large spiked iron balls attached.
Though it requires more strength to use than most whips, it also
deals much more damage.
Nimbus Chain
This legendary flail is fitted with a long, razor-sharp scythe blade
at the end of its chain. The holy magic enchanting the Nimbus Flail
makes an otherwise awkward weapon extraordinarily light and well-
balanced. Though difficult to master, a skilled user of a flail like
this one could easily cut down multiple foes at once. Legends speak
of a powerful archangel and her single-handed assault on the gates of
hell using this powerful weapon; it is not known to mortals whether
her crusade ended in victory or defeat, but the sight of an archangel
wielding this blessed flail would surely strike terror into even the
most terrible of demons.
