Though your extensive training you have learned techniques to enhance your attacks with a whip, you gain the following benefits:
- Much like a viper, you excel at defending narrow passages, doorways, and other tight spaces. As a bonus action, you can enter a defensive stance that lasts until the start of your next turn. While in your defensive stance, you can make a special opportunity attack with a whip without using your reaction.
- While you are wielding a whip, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.
- When you Attack and hit a creature with your whip, you may attempt to grapple the target with your whip instead of dealing damage. The creature must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your attack DC ( 8 + your proficiency bonus + your whips ability modifier). If the target fails the save it becomes Grappled. With your target grappled by your whip, you may use a bonus action to attempt to Shove your target. If you succeed and you choose to move your target 5ft, your target can only move 5ft toward you.
