Cinematic Whip Wielding?

The Entangle (Whip) > Necksnap was a cinematic option suggested in a previous thread by P.K. for a whip style, so I think it's safe to waive realistic-ness of it. After all, this thread is discussing cinematic whip abilities. I do agree with keeping the divisor though... if you want to do silly amounts of damage, use Power Blow.

Also, a Whip "variant" of the Heroic Archer I think ought to just be the two Rule Exemption perks, along with the no Parry penalty, at [20], bought in addition of Weapon Master if desired since Heroic Archer can be bought in combination with Weapon Master too. The double roll to Whip skill at penalty to instantly have the whip ready in between attacks and parries, while matching what Heroic Archer does, but I don't think it has to be. It just feels like excessive die rolling when the part of the intent of the advantage is to just waive the required Ready maneuvers anyways.
