Either can be used in place of a normal attack. 271 and is an attack roll with your weapon opposed by the target's athletics or acrobatics. 195 and is athletics opposed by athletics or acrobatics. Shoving (including knocking someone prone) is in the PHB on pg. All Battle Master does is allow them to be performed as part of an attack that deals damage apply a saving throw (instead of opposed rolls) to resolve what happens.

On one hand I don't want to pigeon whole those combat options so that only a BM can attempt them, especially with a weapon as rarely seen as the whip.Д«ut on the otherhand, i dont want to take a away from what any Battlemaster fighters might find is 'their thing'.ДЄny ideas how to resolve?There are rules for disarming, shoving (including knocking someone prone) and similar maneuvers baked into the rules.

I DM a game and i'm not sure how i'd respond atm if a player not a BM asked about using a whip like that. With using a whip it feels thematic that you could do some of the stuff the battlemaster does such as disarming and tripping the enemy. Taking Defensive Duelist might be thematic in using the whip defensively as well as its finesse, and probably gets a lot more use than Marrial Adept. The suggestion of going Dueling FS helps make the whip more effective (so long as not using the off hand).

Plus, if you're spending the feat on DW, why not just dual wield two whips?ДЄlso, keep in mind the component requirements of the spells you're looking to use with the thrown dagger, as CB and LA both require a free hand for casting. I believe the RAW is you would have to draw both daggers at the same time using the DW benefit. DW lets you draw 2 weapons when normally you can draw one, however, it doesn't give a second free item interact. Thanks in advance!!ДЄnd proceeding to wield the whip in one hand and in the other a dagger for throwing (I can draw + chuck + draw + chuck in one turn thanks to DW feat), offhand attacks in melee, and proccing spells like Hail of Thorns, Conjure Barrage, and Lightning Arrow.A few quick things:ДW feat's third benefit states 'You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.' Drawing a weapon uses the free item interact. Really what I want to do is bounce the build idea off y'all and see what you think, how to optimize the whip+dagger build as I level up, and if there's any other basic whip Ranger builds that I totally missed when I was planning the concept. I'm willing to go for a weaker but more flavorful build at character creation (whip + daggers), but purposefully gimping myself during actual gameplay by using a primary weapon that is inferior in every way to the one I LITERALLY have in my other hand. So if I did that, there would be no reason to have the whip at all, which sort of kills the build concept. The main issue I have with that build is that as soon as I take crossbow expert, the hand crossbow has better 'reach' than the whip, better damage than the whip (1d6 vs 1d4), no disadvantage for being used in melee, procs the spells mentioned before (Hail of Thorns, Conjure Barrage/Volley, etc), and by RAW the hand crossbow procs its own BA attack as it IS a one handed weapon. Other options I was considering were taking starting feat: magic initiate (wizard) and grabbing Booming Blade for reach shenanigans, but I think I would need spell sniper to use BB with a whip properly, so the build wouldn't come online until Level 4, which is right before I get Extra Attack, which is anti-synergetic with Booming Blade.ДЄnother thing I was thinking about was going start feat crossbow expert and wielding whip + hand crossbow + archery fighting style. Obviously I'd take TWF Fighting style at Level 2, then either DS or Hunter at 3. Right now I was thinking of something along the lines of:ДЄnd proceeding to wield the whip in one hand and in the other a dagger for throwing (I can draw + chuck + draw + chuck in one turn thanks to DW feat), offhand attacks in melee, and proccing spells like Hail of Thorns, Conjure Barrage, and Lightning Arrow. The relatively light armor and cowboy hat SCREAM ranger to me (is that weird? I can't see her as a rogue or fighter lol), with the background hinting at maybe Deep Stalker (but I'll probably go Hunter just cause I love the idea of Whirlwind Attack with a whip! Then again, Stalker's Flurry with a whip is a pretty cool concept too.) So, I'm planning on using the image as a starting point for my next character build. Was browsing generic fantasy art and came across this - I think it's a MtG card, but whatever it is, it's hella badass
