Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a registered copy of DM Genie???

I read the entry for Collar of True Companion and it really doesn't add to this discussion. Firstly, it would be impractical to try and trap or capture someone with this collar when you have to wait a week for it to work. Also it would be completely useless against undead or many outsiders.
What book and page is the Collar of the True Companion located in? Is this D&D or Pathfinder only?
Oh, and for anyone interested, Adamantine Manacles can be found in the D&D Dungeonscape book page 32. Can only be broken with a DC 52 Strength check!!
I can only imagine the splint mail and locked gauntlet idea working after you have already caught and captivated your victim. In other words, manacles could be used in the act of captivating (i.e. grappling) and the splint mail would be the next step to keep them subdued after you have them. I was just wondering how you could possibly use the splint mail/locked gauntlets during the initial act of capture. If there are any ideas I would be open. I use the grapple rules for "tie up" on page 200 of the CoreRulebook for the manacles. This of course requires a successful grapple, then a successful pin and then use the manacles in place of rope OR successful grapple and then use the manacles with a -10 penalty to the combat maneuver. An optimized 14th level Hunter from AEG Mercenaries (one of my favorite bounty hunter classes) however could knock a victim out and then potentially place the splint mail and locked gauntlet on them with the manacles while they were unconscious for the 2d6 minutes that is specified on page 32. I just wonder how long it would take to don splint mail/locked gauntlets on an unconscious victim??
Master Arminas...I really like your idea with the splint mail armor and locked gauntlets. However, you do not address the struggle that would be required to force someone to don the armor or to forcibly don it on them. Usually, one is placing manacles on an uncooperative victim and that is hard enough. How hard would it be to try and forcibly don splint mail with locked gauntlets on someone? ....and a 15th level NPC or PC would be near impossible unless you happened to be a 14th level Hunter (AEG Mercenaries) and knocked them unconscious. Even then, it takes a normal (conscious) person 4 minutes to don splint mail armor. |
