how come there is no electro whip?
there is a monofilament whip and while I'm happy to accept that a monofilament (no matte the material) is not able to carry enough current...
there should be one or more people to take electro shock gloves to the next level...

I know this is not SLA where you want to shine for the media while fighting to death but still... how would you go for an electro whip?

considering the monofilament whip I'ld go with
8S(e), reach 2, exotic weapon
how'ld you aproach this?
would you share the same exotic (whip) skill across those 2? or would you argue that a whip that damages on contact and a mono whip which cuts nearly effortlessly are using totally different skills?

what if the wielder wanted do entangle a target with the whip to constantly/repeatedly electrocute him?

I would separate the skills since not only is the monowhip so slicing, but it's also near weightless. Controlling something weighted at the tip and something weighted all along would be the difference between a lightsaber and a sword.

I'd use the exotic melee whip skill for the electrowhip. You'd use it the same a a regular whip so the same skill should suffice.

I've got some Chars that use an Electric Whip
(as a Houserule) Damage is 6S (e) AP 1/2 Battery with 6-10 Charges Reach 2
and I use the Skill Ex. Weapon Whip .Also as a Houserule You can specialise in Electrowhip,Monowhip,Bullwhip,Riding crop
because the handling is similar but not the same (at least more Similar than a Knife and a Two-Handed Battleaxe or a Longspear which are all in "Blades" )

with a similar Dance than the one before
(but not quite the same)

I suppose in context, I have to agree. Maybe I am a real hardliner...

[Reaver]

whips aren't really known for slicing huge chucks of meat off people.... (thin cuts that hurt like heck? YES!!!) and leather jacket would stop most of this trauma....
(Remember, it's the mono-molecular size of the monowhip that does the cutting!!!)

I would have to say Medicineman is on the right track... treat it as a shockglove/shockclub, increase the range and call it a day.
