I was looking up the 'Steal' maneuver for someone, and couldn't help but notice that one can use a whip to make steal attempts. Now, I really want to make up a whip focused character, with trip and steal. I was about to embark on a search through the various books I have to see what all there is that would add to this build idea.

But then, I thought, this idea has surely been done before! And probably done by people far better at it then me, to boot!

And so, here I am, asking if anyone has a most excellent whip wielder build? I was going to go fighter, just due to the sheer number of feats required to do this. At least, it appears to be quite a few feats.

I tried googling "Whip Build", but all I got were trip builds that use a whip. Certainly good info to go on for a whip master, but not precisely what I was going for.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome!

If you have another build idea in mind, then ask the GM if you can switch. Otherwise, I would chat with the other player about not only being similar, but using each other as Teamwork Feat buddies. Two archers hitting from different sides can be a serious problem. If the two of you pick the right feat chains, especially with the same teamwork feats, you guys could get real scary, real fast. Just something to think about.

Turns out he did know about it, and expects me to use it, too. Works for me.

Sage advice, indeed. I will definitely tell him, soonest. After thinking about how the session went, though, I wouldn't be surprised if he knows already. He's cagey like that, and it isn't really a game breaker, like you guys mentioned.

With the build I have, I wouldn't be worried about rage cycling until much later on, anyway. Oh, I have a few powers that would benefit early on, I suppose. My true concern was it changing something in his game that throws everything off. He makes up some seriously intricate games, and he told me a while back that the little things are the real breakers for his stories. And they are epic stories! So, really don't want to be the one that threw the monkey wrench in, you know what I mean?

But, thanks for bringing me back to earth by pointing out how un-impressive it really is. I just heard so much about it on the various forums, that I didn't see the reality of the situation, and responded to the apparent hype. LOL, I am an excitable old cuss, I guess.

Yeah, real good bad guy names from video games work well. Vaas and Sephiroth make great names for Liches.

Lets see... 3.5 is dead, so Elminster?
