Re: The Whip is just wrong
The damage I do not have a problem with considering the abstract nature of it. The sting and psychological effects in combat would account for the "damage". (You can point a knife at a dog, but shoot a gun in the air and they run)
I do agree with the intervening figures though. Looking at people using them, I can see how it would even be worse for a whip with people in the way. The only difference is that when you roll to miss and fail, the attack just stops. A whip is inneffective unless the tip gets unfurled.
I do believe the unique weapons do not need any equality in the game though. They are what they are. More for flavor than balance. That is why it is not in Melee.
