Whip

The Whip, while being of some power, can't be really considered a useful weapon. While having long reach and some power, it is very difficult to properly use and has a low attack frequency. Therefore, the whip is mostly used as a form of non-lethal punishment and by several couples with unusual private habits.

According to Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour, the mace has a "4" effectiveness rating.

History
Whips only appeared in Ultima VII. Never before, never after. During that time, the stronger Lightning Whip also appeared, which is much better suited for combat.

Trivia

 * It is strangely hard to find a normal whip in the game. The only ones that is set is the one Hook uses and the one in the example below.
 * When searching through Rotolunica's island home in Moonshade, you find a whip, a banana, diapers and bindings. ...You don't WANT to know what she and Filbercio had been doing with these things.
