| Snagging Trip | — | Whenever you trip a foe with a whip, may drag your opponent up to 10 ft. toward you.

| Third Hand | — | You can use your whip for a variety of actions beyond those normally possible with a whip. You can retrieve an unattended object anywhere within range, and deposit it anywhere within range, as a standard action, though the item cannot weigh more than what is half a light load for your Strength. If you want to throw the grabbed object as a weapon, you can make an attack with it, with a -4 penalty for being an improvised weapon (even if you throw what would normally be a real weapon, like a dagger). You do not gain bonuses to this attack from feats or abilities that enhance your skill with a whip. | ||
