Yeah that's a good point, also even if a whip is 10 ft I think you could affect someone with a crack of it a little further.

I think you could make crack once per short rest and be a little more balanced. That's what the Crusher/Piercer/Slasher feats do (off the top of my head, may be wrong).

Edit: Those feats don't do a per short rest thing, my bad. They have a once per turn ability and an on-crit ability.

I'm considering it, but the once-per-short-rest thing doesn't make as much sense flavor-wise. Maybe if the character adds something to the end that allows foe the distraction that has to be replaced during a short rest... I'll have to see if I can get that concise enough to fit.

Yeah, I get that. If you like the anti-caster idea then maybe something like foes having disadvantage to maintain concentration from attacks.

Or like you said, something like the Lizardfolk's racial ability might be a good template.,

As part of a short rest, you can [use materials] to create [a thing]. To use this trait, you need [tools]

So something like "as part of a rest you can use Bang Snaps to create an explosive tip for your whip." (I wouldn't say it needs any specific tools.)
