You gain a +1 Bonus to Attack and damage rolls made with a whip.
You gain proficiency with duel wielding whips. You can add your proficiency bonus to any offhand attack roll made while wielding a whip in each hand. And you can use two-weapon while you are wielding a whip in each hand.
When you are wielding a whip in each hand, and another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss you.
You can make a sweeping strike with your whips. If you hit a creature with an attack while wielding a whip in each hand, you can choose to deal the same damage to a creature within 5ft of the target if it is in your reach.
