Hellfire Lash

Hellfire Lash 

This +l flaming burst whip of speed is 15-feet long, of braided strands of supple black leather crafted from the hide of a red dragon and studded with jagged obsidian shards. The tip of the whip is weighted down with a wickedly spiked adamantine sphere. The handle of the whip is blackened bone, inset with a spherical obsidian at the base of the haft, lit from within by a flickering tongue of fire. When the whip is uncoiled and upon silent command by its wielder, the length of the whip is sheathed in a nimbus of hungry flames.

Unlike a normal whip, this whip deals base damage as a spiked chain (2d4 damage as a Medium weapon), dealing both bludgeoning and slashing damage (in addition to the fire damage from the flaming special quality), and it will affect creatures with natural armor class. While the whip is wielded, it grants its wielder protection from cold, absorbing the first 10 points of cold damage each round that the wielder would otherwise take.
