Description: This skill allows the whip wielder to make a special attack on an enemy with a whip, targeting a vital area to damage, demoralize, and punish. Valid targets include: neck, arm, and leg -- Attacking the legs is easiest and yields penalties to agility and sometimes knocks down a foe. An arm is slightly more difficult to target and causes a penalty to dexterity while int errupting. An attack on the neck is the most difficult and can result in the target being unable to speak for a time. All successful uses of this skill will damage the enemy according to the whip he wields, even if he fails to execute an especially debilitating maneuver. Success for additional effects are determined by training in the Whip skill, and even more additional effects will occur upon successful checks for training in the Flogging and Entangle skills, if the target is an arm or leg. Usage: use flagellistics at [enemy] target [bodypart] If the wielder is a Sentinel, this will focus the target's attention on the Sentinel [+1 focus].
