Tiller (Fame 20, 2 PP) Your efforts to free slaves (especially
half lings from Cheliax) have earned you a position among
the secretive Bellflower Network, and you are considered a
“tiller” in the organization. You gain a +3 bonus on Escape
Artist checks to free slaves from bondage.

... shouldn't that be disable device checks? I'm not sure how you'd make an escape artist check to get a slave out of bondage.

One time a charmed Andoran PC was tied up by the rest of the party and was absolutely convinced that the party had enslaved him and was going to sell him into slavery. I gave him the +3 on Escape Artist to free the slave (himself) from bondage. Other than that, Escape Artist on a slave has never come up in ~100 PFS games.

A +2 to diplomacy checks with good and neutral halflings would be far more useful.


A bonus to Escape Artist still works. Perhaps it's about dislocating the thumb to remove shackles or contorting the body to shrug off ropes. It also may help with Aid Another checks so that the tiller helps the slave free themselves. I like this last option because it allows the tiller to empower the slave.

Whatever the case, according to the prd manacles require a DC 30 Escape Artist check. Masterwork manacles, 35.

It is a vanity...so...its uses are kinda hit or miss. I find vanities are much more for the fun and roleplay. I have had the Knight Captain vanity combo for a few games and completely forgot it gave me an additional +2 to Diplomacy.
