DC of manacles?


Rules Questions


One of my players has Manacles of Cooperation and is continually capturing foes with them. The will save to attempt escape is pretty low, but I don't know the DC to try and escape.

What's the standard difficulty to escape/lockpick/break manacles?

Manacles, Standard and Masterwork: Manacles can bind a Medium creature. A manacled creature can use the Escape Artist skill to slip free (DC 30, or DC 35 for masterwork manacles). Breaking the manacles requires a Strength check (DC 26, or DC 28 for masterwork manacles). Manacles have hardness 10 and 10 hit points.

Most manacles have locks; add the cost of the lock you want to the cost of the manacles.

Just above manacles wrote:
Lock: The DC to open a lock with the Disable Device skill depends on the lock's quality: simple (DC 20), average (DC 25), good (DC 30), or superior (DC 40).
