The Whip Master

You learned how to flow through battle with grace, using your unique weapon for both combat and support. You gain the following benefits:

• Proficiency with the whip if you do not already possess it, and the whip is considered a light weapon in your hands. 
  
  
• When using a whip as a weapon, you can use your bonus action to make one melee attack with the whip.
  
  
• When using a whip, you may use it to perform the Grapple and Shove special melee attacks. This requires a Grapple or Shove check as described in the Melee Attacks section of the rules, but you may use Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) for your half of the contested roll. 
  
  
• Your use of your whip comes as a second nature to you. You may use your whip as an elongated appendage to perform actions that do not require fine motor skills. This includes both object interactions, such as grabbing a sword or pulling a bag toward you, and ability checks, such as a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to grab a nearby support beam to swing from. The objects you interact with cannot exceed 5 pounds.
