Whip of Grappling +2 (1500 XP) (submitted by Bill Bell Jr.)
This whip is made of black dragon leather with a mitherl 3claw hilt holding a medium black pearl (enchanted). At the tip of the one strand whip is another tiny mitherl 3claw tip which is used to grapple. The handle has a leather strap for the forearm to help prevent the whip from falling from the owner when let go. The whip is strong enough to support up to 300lbs and withstand blade cuts. The whip knows its owner and will not function for any other until the present owner either dies or gives it away or sells it to another and even at that will take 3 weeks to become acquainted to its new owner and then all the powers will function. The whip is of a Neutral alignment. Powers: To Hit: +2, Damage +2, Weapon speed -2. The whip grapples when it touches the target and by word command from the owner. The command words are: WRAP: whip when successfully hits target (must roll to see if target is hit) will wrap around the chosen target - say the ankle of the target and will not let go until commanded to by its owner. It is not smart enough to wrap & retrieve any item. GRAB: The 3clawed tip when successfully hits will grab the chosen target. Example: A thief fell down a 40' pit with spikes at the bottom. The whip automatically activates FEATHER FALL (see below), but the thief will still surely die on the spikes if he can't stop his fall. He whips the wall and commands GRAB. The whip tip grabs the wall and stops his fall saving his life. (Now he just needs to figure out how to get back up the pit). Items may be retrieved if the whip is able to wrap around the item (standing, not lying on the floor). It does not do this on its own. The owner must whip around the item, command WRAP so the whip will attach to itself once it has circled the item by the motion of the whipping. The smaller the item, the more impossible for the whip to get a grip on the item. RELEASE: The whip lets go of the target. The perfect Rare back pearl is enchanted with three powers: 1) Feather Fall for owner automatically when owner falls more than 10 feet 2 times per day. 2) Silence 5' radius 2 times per day centered on the whip. 3) Improved Invisibility 1 per day.
