 //A fine whip is an excellent tool for mast-binding, gorge-swinging, foe-tangling, god-challenging, and of course my personal favorite: ass-smacking.//
-The Lasher's weapon of choice is classically a whip, but could also be anything else you can imagine that's long and flexible- a length of chain, a razor-studded scarf or a tentacle, maybe. As weapon classes go it's a bit more exotic than many other melee types, but who doesn't want to take a cue from Indiana Belmont?
+^{{ra>key?48|Possible Keystones}} |1. Length of lightweight, yet sturdy chain. \\ 2. Triple-wrap belt. \\ 3. Leather vest/bodice. \\ 4. Ringmaster's hat. \\ 5. Kraken insignia. \\ 6. Hangman's noose. |
 This is a weapon and subject to [[UWR|universal weapon rules]].

A single creature can be grabbed by multiple different other creatures and thus have multiple versions of the Grabbed condition in place on them at once, all of which are recovered from separately.
