Is Limp Lash any good?


Advice


Just a quick question of opinion. I was considering taking the spell focus line along with varisian tattoo for necromancy for some fun save or die-ness, when I came across Limp Lash.

Is limp lash any good? It seems that you must stay within 20 feet of your target, that probably isn't good and one could attack your whip, breaking the spell, also not as good. But the no save and multiple penalties until paralyzed seems fun.

What do you think?

It is insanely strong. Enough said :)

The A) multiple and B) increasing penalties that C) paralyzes when the one ability score hit 1, is very strong. Limiting movement of the enemy, is just icing on the cake.

I prefer a touch attack to a save, and while the whip can be sundered that is mostly likely provoking attacks of opportunities, and at the least take one attack from them (provided they can deal 20 damage).

The bad stuff is primarily that your caster is getting attention, so it is preferable to stand behind your martials when you use it.

I find it's best use isn't taking out enemy Martians, who can easily sunder it, but the casters who dumped their physical scores. Plus it's the rare caster that can sunder the lash.
