How does Scorpion Whip work?

[Deluge]

Hi all

There is a player in our group who uses a Scorpion Whip. The description in UC is quite vague about its use.

Some players suggest that Exotic Wpn Prof - Whip is enough to use either Whip or Scorpion WHip. Others say that if you have Exotic Wpn Prof - Scorpion WHip you can use it as a 5' reach 1D4 weapon with the performance special and you can only unlock the 15' range and trip etc by also taking Exotic Wpn Prof - Whip.

Two feats or one. I'm confused and have to GM this player soon. I've looked back over old threads and found no clear answer to how this weapon works.

Cheers

I have a player using it in the most advantageous interpretation and it isn't OP or anything. It has actually added to the fun.

But as for the rules, I believe that to do damage with it you need to have EWP:Scorpion Whip and to use the 15' reach you need weapon prof. whip.
