tygreen101 12-03-07, 07:28 PM	I would say now, but I would allow you to use it as a ranged trip or a ranged disarm. I also remember an old feat "third arm" from 3.0 I don't remember all the details but it was something like it would allow you to use the whip grapple a beam and swing with it and other "Indiana Jones" type things. any one else remember the third arm feat? maybe from the old sword & fist? (S&F)

It deals no damage to any creature with an armor bonus of +1 or higher or a natural armor bonus of +3 or higher. The whip is treated as a melee weapon with 15-foot reach, though you don’t threaten the area into which you can make an attack. In addition, unlike most other weapons with reach, you can use it against foes anywhere within your reach (including adjacent foes). Using a whip provokes an attack of opportunity, just as if you had used a ranged weapon. You can make trip attacks with a whip. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the whip to avoid being tripped. When using a whip, you get a +2 bonus on opposed attack rolls made to disarm an opponent (including the roll to keep from being disarmed if the attack fails). You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a whip sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you. The only thing that resembles a ranged weapon is provoking an attack of opportunity. It could be argued that the Defensive Archery feat will eliminate that, but that is a discussion for your DM (I would allow it).

(S&F) I think there was a class that allowed this. There is a skill trick that allows you to do this in Complete Scoundrel.
