Whip, Elephant: An elephant whip is a thick whip made from both heavy rope and links of flexible steel wire. It, along with the goad, is typically used to herd elephants and to direct them in battle. Since it is so heavy and since its tip is capable of moving at supersonic velocity, it can also be used very effectively in combat.
Unlike a whip, an elephant whip deals normal damage and can damage opponents regardless of their armour bonus, or their natural armour bonus. The elephant whip is treated as a melee weapon with a 15-foot reach, though it does not threaten areas into which it can make an attack. As with a normal whip, the elephant whip can be used to attack adjacent foes.
Using an elephant whip provokes an attack of opportunity, as though the wielder were using a ranged weapon. An elephant whip can be used to make trip attacks and the wielder can drop it to avoid being tripped in return. In addition, the wielder gains a +2 bonus to all disarm attempts, including attempts to avoid being disarmed himself.
Elephant whip wielders cannot benefit from the Weapon Finesse feat when using this weapon.
