Action – 1 or 2 Creatures (Touch)
You bind the hands of a creature that is willing, Incapacitated, or Restrained.
Sleight of Hand (DC 10)
- Success (DC 10): The creature is bound in one of the following ways:
- Hands: Target’s hands are bound. They have disadvantage on attack rolls and sleight of hand checks, can’t grapple a creature, and can’t use the somatic components of spells.
- Feet: Target’s feet are bound. They have disadvantage on dexterity saves and acrobatics checks, and their speed is halved.
- Shackle to Object/Creature: Target is grappled by the object. A creature cannot be pushed to break this grapple. Creatures shackled together can move at half speed if moving simultaneously.
- Manacles: Has an AC of 18, is immune to poison and psychic damage, resistant to non-adamantine physical, cold, lightning, fire, necrotic, and thunder damage, and must take 5 damage at once to break.
- Failure: No effect.

Athletics Check or Acrobatics Check (DC 30)*
- Success: Creature is no longer bound. If using athletics, the manacles are broken.

A creature can either use a key or thieves’ tools. If using thieves’ tools, they must make a sleight of hand check.
Sleight of Hand Check (DC 15)

*Remember that with Elkan rules, you add +5 to a natural 20s with skill checks. If not using this rule, the DC to escape manacles is 25.
