The Pain Whip is a ebony-black, writhing, wailing, tentacle-like coil of ARB. It is wielded using Martial Arts or Arcanowave and does Magic+4 damage, soaked by the target's Willpower. Damage immunity to Arcanowave or Influence makes you immune to a Pain Whip.
A Pain Whip can be used with Fu schticks that can be used in armed combat. It cannot use the Weapon Master schticks for their corresponding weapon type.
Characters who fail Death Tests caused by a Pain Whip usually don't die, instead loosing all will to resist. A failure only indicates that the victim is overcome with pain and unable to resist for fifteen minutes times the negative result points, as long as the negative result points did not exceed the target's Willpower, in which case death runs it's usual course, and is usually swift.
Technodemons use this weapon to capture slaves, and somebody knocked out using a Pain Weapon is then defenseless against any type of domination, mind control or enslavement.
