Mastery of the whip turns an implement of fear and pain into an effective weapon and utility tool.

• While you are wielding a whip, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.
• When you take the Attack action with a whip and successfully hit an opponent, you can use a bonus action to attempt to trip or pull an opponent 5' (closer or to the side) by use of athletics (STR) or acrobatics (DEX) vs. athletics (STR) or acrobatics (DEX).
• With a DEX based attack roll, the whip can be used to "grab" an item within range which is not being held by another creature. Such an item may include things which are immobile such as a branch or post, or things which are mobile. Items <5 pounds can be drawn to the wielder on the same turn using a bonus action.
