This weapon functions as a +3 whip. It deals subdual damage or regular damage as the wielder desires. There is no penalty to attack regardless of which type of damage the wielder is attempting to inflict. The ivory lash is animated and responsive to the wielder’s will, so it can wrap around an enemy’s leg or other limb, enabling it to make trip attacks with a +6 bonus. Ivory lashes also add a +2 bonus on any opposed attack roll when attempting to disarm an opponent (including the roll to keep from being disarmed if the wielder fails to disarm the opponent).
