You master the use of your whip for things other than attacking. You gain the following benefits:

• Proficiency with whips.
• While you are wielding a whip in one hand, you may replace any attack with a grapple action using a dex (acrobatics) check instead of strength. While a target is grappled in this way it's speed is normal but it cannot move further than 10 ft from you.
• While a target is grappled in this way, you may replace any attack with a drag action using a str (athletics) check either to reduce the target's maximum distance from you by five feet or to knock the target prone.
• While you are wielding a whip in one hand, you may use an action to drag inanimate tiny objects to you safely DC 12 dexterity check. On a failure, fragile objects are prone to damage but are still dragged (unless shattered).
