Hey, everyone.

So I'm doing a custom done colonization game on a fresh world. My players are 4 experienced, 1 newbie who caught on quick. Marshal, Doctor, Engineer (from AoR. I allowed a couple of the more civilian-esque careers for this), Heavy, and Trader. I'm introducing a new villain on Friday who will be the proverbial thorn in their side for a long time yet, I hope.

Being a Hutt, he has a retinue of baddies who aren't quite arch-nemesises (nemeses?) but aren't quite rivals. Namely a very brutal Zygerrian slave driver.

For those who have seen TCW, do you think it would be OP to stat a Zygerrian whip this way:

Zygerrian Vibrowhip (Melee)
Damage +0 or +1, haven't decided; Crit 5; Short (yeah, I know, but really it seems pretty "realistic" given the apparent reach in the cartoon); Ensnare X (not sure how hard to make it), other misc. special properties? As far as range difficulty, I would set Short at (DD) and Engaged at (DDD) since it's harder to his something that close with a whip. To my knowledge, at least.

Right now this Zygerrian is beast-moding a well-modded, well-crafted vibrosword in one hand and a stun baton (from FH) in the other. But I really want him to be able to ensnare my players and try and finish them off with his sword.

Any suggestions? I'm only asking because I want this villain set to be really awful for them. I'm pulling out a lot of stops with this chapter in their campaign because they've been slaughtering most of the time and now the training wheels are a'comin' off.
