Default Re: Wizards, for your consideration, the Whip...

I'm squarely in the camp that a "Lasso" is imbalanced.

I happen to be a lasso user in real life, I call it a Lariat, and it's just for fun, but I've been throwing a braided lariat for a few years, and if for nothing more than game balance, it should be adjusted.

Similar "unusual" weapons have a ST requirement higher to use, and unlike missle weapons, and more like thrown weapons, ST is just as important in hitting a target as DX is.

When I snap out at 15-20' to try and snatch your leg, it's very much a strength thing as a DX thing, and it's actually easier to grab a limb than people think.

But the thrown weapons penalties and the damage inflicted and the ST required to use it, and use it well should probably be revisted.

Also keep in mind the two hands required to use it.
