Disentangle

Refplace's suggestion of Entangle-2 would mean that you ordinarily entangle a limb at Whip-4 (for Entangle), and Unentangle at Whip-6.

I know that seems severe, but in my admittedly limited experience I found unentangling harder than entangling and entangling harder than striking.
Back a few years ago I could flip a light switch on and off 70 or 80% of the time, not sure what that makes my skill but I know a lot of people much better.
So I think the Entangle defaulting to -4 is too harsh., Cracking is -4 and I think should be -2.

A 2 yard whip is longer than the 3 foot snakewhip I used to own so a Ready maneuver would work fine.
I would say use the same rules for Readying it for use apply to unentangling, so over 6 foot takes two or more Readies.
