Thanks to extensive practice with the whip, you gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain proficency with whips.
• When wielding a whip, you can use the Attack action to attempt a Grapple or Shove action on a target. When making grapple checks using a whip, use Dexterity (Acrobatics) instead of Strength (Atheletics). When you shove with a whip, replace the push option with pull, allowing you to pull the target 5 feet closer to you, rather than push them 5 feet away from you. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this attack replaces one of them.
• When you have a free hand while wielding a whip, you can use the Attack action, to make a special attack with your whip to snatch a tiny unattended object within your reach, and transfer it your free hand. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this attack replaces one of them.
