So we are trying to catch a Ninja/Rouge with high Escape Artist. Our idea was to use Chains to wrap around her then put a lock over top so she would have to make a DC60 to break the Lock.
But none of us know how the overlapping of DC's work. Can you choose to escape from the chains with an escape artist even though it is closed with a Superior Lock. Or Do you have to make the Disable Device Check first?
If she can do the escape artist then how do we catch her? Because from what we can tell she has a total of over +20 in escape artist and we dont have any magic that can hold her down for prolonged periods of time.
If you can also site where the rules are that you use, that would be very helpful as some wont believe the ruling if only a person on the net says it.

The skill entry for Escape ARtist makes no mention of a lock increasing the DC, and neither does the entry for Locks, so there is no DC overlap. They're two completely different skill checks, Escape Artist to wiggle out of the chains, Disable Device to pick the lock. No relation.
As far as keeping her caught, might I suggest 'club her over the head for nonlethal damage repeatedly'?
