Benefit: When you successfully demoralize an opponent within your melee reach with an Intimidate check, you can make a single melee attack against that creature as a swift action. If your attack fails to damage the target, its shaken condition from being demoralized immediately ends.

Emphasis mine. What is 'melee reach' this defined as? If I am using a whip, but do not threaten, is it still considered in my melee reach? Does it have anything to do with threatening at all? Just looking for clarification.

It doesn't call out threatening.


Whips are a melee reach weapon that does not threaten. The feat works fine with whips.
