📋 About This Mod

Adds 17 different whips, with generic, +1, and +2 variants scattered randomly throughout places you'd usually find weapons, like general vendors, certain container loot, and more in blacksmiths. It also adds special whips with guaranteed drops in thematic locations and enemy loot for each one.

These are balanced around 5e RAW damage numbers, with (hopefully) enough utility via weapon skills and features to make them a viable choice. Each whip gives you access to custom versions of Disarming Strike, Topple, and Lacerate on bladed whips, with per combat cooldown. They also come with extra range and are finesse weapons, sharing proficiency with flails. (or optionally maces, a simple weapon, making it available to all vanilla classes except Sorcerer and Wizard by default.) A damage boost optional file is supplied for a small increase if that isn't enough for your mod list.

Between these 17 whips, there are 13 unique models with custom icons, and more of each to come.
