Slot belt Price 26,000 gp Weight 1 lb
DESCRIPTION
This item appears to be a simple leather belt with a blackened iron clasp. It has belt holes punched its’ entire length. The belt must be worn for 24 hours, upon which it is attuned to the user and the command word becomes known. The belt can be applied to the neck of a living creature within one size of the user with a successful grapple action, and with a command word begins to strangle the target. A character with the sneak attack class ability can apply the belt with a successful sneak attack, dealing no damage but applying the belt. The target can only hold its’ breath for 1/4th the normal time. As soon as the belt is applied, a silence with a 5 foot radius is cast centered on the belt, which lasts until the belt is removed. The belt can only be released by the attuned user with a touch and the command word, which requires a swift action.
The belt can be damaged by the target or another creature, and releases if destroyed. The victim can break free with a DC 20 Strength check (which deals 1d12 damage to the belt, bypassing hardness and damage reduction) or a DC 20 Escape Artist check. The belt has AC 22, 12 hit points, hardness 10, and damage reduction 5/slashing. The belt repairs damage to itself at a rate of 1 hit point per 5 minutes, but is destroyed if severed (reduced to 0 hit points). The belt can be used at will.
