The state of concentration lasts a number of rounds equal to her class level or until she dismisses it. Whenever a whip mistress is hit while in this state of trance she must succeed on a Concentration check (DC = damage dealt) or lose it. A mistress can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Con modifier. Whip Specialization: A whip mistress attacking with a whip doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunities. When she wield a whip she threatens an area of 5 ft. around her. A whip mistress may treat the whip as a ranged weapon for the use of feats and special abilities. Throw Arrow: A whip mistress of 2nd can use her whip to throw arrows. This is a full round action and provokes attacks of opportunity. A whip mistress can throw a number of arrows equal to her class level, but each arrow beyond the first imposes a -2 penalty on the attack roll. The damage dealt by the attack is 1d6 for every arrow thrown plus the whip mistress’ Str modifier. This attack is considered a ranged attack with a minimum range of 15 ft. and a range increment of 30 ft. The attack has a critical multiplier of 3. The whip mistress can add the benefit of any feat that affects her whip or ranged attacks to the attack. This ability can be used once per day for every two levels a whip mistress has in this class. Weapon Specialization: At 4th level a whip mistress gains weapon specialization (whip) as a bonus feat. If she all ready has weapon specialization with the whip she can choose any other feat from the Fighter’s bonus feat list. Trip Mastery: When the whip mistress uses her whip to trip an enemy she can instead make a Use Rope check and use the result of that check instead of her attack bonus + Str modifier if it is beter. Greater Throw Arrow: At 6th level the whip mistress is trained in throwing arrows with her whip, the penalty on attack rolls for each arrow beyond the first is now -1. Further more the range increment of the attack is now 45 ft. Hail of Arrows: A whip mistress of 8th level and higher can use her throw arrow ability to hit an area instead of a single target. The area consists of a series of 5 ft. squares for each arrow thrown. All the squares must be conected to each other in a straight line and perpendicular to the throwing side. When using this ability she makes an attack roll against a DC 5. If she hits all creatures within the area take damage from one arrow unless they succeed on a Reflex save (DC = damge dealt). Supreme Throw Arrow: A whip mistress of 10th level is so skilled at throwing arrows with her whip that she suffers no penalty on attack rolls when throwing more than one arrow. Each arrow now deals 1d8 points of damage and the range increment is increased to 60 ft. EDIT Changed Throw Arrow to make it somewhat weaker but don't know if it still is to much. Guess it still is.

Ciscolii 08-13-07, 08:04 AM	Well PEACH stands for Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly/Honourbly. Further more. Changed and moved trip mastery to a lower level and added Hail of Arrows. Though the wording is clunky.
