Rope of Tangling
Magic item, Miscellaneous magic item
An animated rope that binds a target on command; very strong victims can tear free, ruining it.
From the book
This animated rope winds itself around any person or object its owner names and holds it fast for up to 10 minutes. A target gets one chance to slip free with a save vs Dexterity, and anyone with Strength 18 or more tears loose in 1-4 rounds, ruining the rope.
As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
