If my character is chained with masterwork shackles, can he implant the Slip bonds trick then use it? or can you only activate it when you actually -get- chained?
This is a really good question, and I actually came here specifically for an answer to this.
(The premise of the question applies to many mesmerist tricks. For example, if I'm in pitch-darkness, can I implant See in Darkness and trigger it, or does the trigger have *literally* be "moves into darkness"?)
We've been playing that if the triggering *state* exists, you can trigger the trick (so, yes, my mesmerist can implant Slip Bonds when chained, or See in Darkness when there's no light, and then trigger them and they work), and it hasn't been overpowered, but I'm curious as to the intent of the ability.
