Can you coup de grace...

[Xijolu]

with an urumi whip? I can't find the answer anywhere. I hope you guys can help! :)

Well, the Urumi, is a melee weapon, so according to the rules, yes you can coup de grace with it. It's a weird to imagine how you'd do this, but according to the rules you can do it.

An urumi is more like a flexible sword than a whip.

I imagine you would slit their throat with the many segmented blades.

An urumi is made of metal ribbons attached to a sword-like handle. You could call it a flexible sword in the same sense that you could call a capybara a "big rat". Technically accurate, but not what most people would say. They'd call it a whip.

As far as how one would coup de gras with an urumi, I'd say Barathos has the right idea, flaying flesh from the neck would expose important blood vessels.

Grab them by the hair, wrap the urumi around their neck, yank your urumi back, watch the explosion of gore.

It's a whip sword. It's both a whip and a sword in equal measure. There, we're all happy.

And I think we all agree that the coup de grace involves going for the neck.

A whip sword is what Ivy uses in Soulcalibur. :P

On a somewhat tangential note: there's an interesting scene showing an urumi being used in the (Bollywood) movie Ashoka. Not used to cut any necks though, sadly.

Thank you everyone for the help :)
