Whips get a bonus against all shields? This seems strange to me, unless you're dealing with a whip that can shock you. Granted whips suck pretty badly, but this still does not seem logical to me.

I'm not sure if whips have the #flail bonus or not, but I think it's due to the fact that a "blocked" whip might warp around the shield and hit you in the back of your helmet.
Do you even care if you're hit with a nonmagical whip, though? Damage taken after protection is reduced is capped at 1, and you don't need much protection to negate even that.
