Grasping Whip (Feat)

You are able to entangle opponents with the coils of your whip.

Prerequisites: BAB +5, Weapon Focus (Feat): any whip weapon

Benefit: As a swift action, you can use a whip to grasp an unattended Small, Tiny or Fine object within your whip's reach and pull that object into your square. To do so, you must hit AC 20 with a melee attack to grasp a Small object, AC30 to grasp a Tiny object, or AC40 to grasp a Fine object. If a foe has dropped a weapon, you may attempt to snatch the weapon out of his square and into your own as a swift action instead, treating Medium weapons as Small objects. While the whip is grasping an object, you cannot make attacks with the whip. As a swift action, you can release the object your whip is grasping.

Special: As a standard action, you can, instead, drop the object in any square within your whip's reach.

Special: Enemies attempting to disentangle an object from your whip's grasp must be adjacent to the object and succeed on a Combat Maneuver check against you. Retrieving an object in this manner is a standard action.

Note: Depending upon the type of whip being used, the referee may adjudicate some or a lot of damage to items, or the attempt may simply fail. Snatching a delicate perfume bottle with a Great Whip is a bad idea, as is snatching a size Small boulder that weighs several hundred pounds with a Slightwhip. In all cases, you must have enough Carrying Capacity to consider the weight of the item snatched to leave you unencumbered, or the grasp attempt fails.
