Restraining Chains doesn't seem to list what the saving throw is

[ObsessiveWiz]

The Restraining Chains spell from Impossible Magic has effects listed for critical success, success, failure, etc... but nowhere can I find what the save/attack/whatever is supposed to be.

Archives of Nethys, PathDB, Demiplane.

Am I blind? Is it in the physical book but none of these sites list it?

You're not blind, Restraining Chains doesn't list the saving throw in the physical book either.

I already posted about it in the 2026 Spring Errata Thread but you can add your voice too. All we can really do is wait, and until then make a ruling on what to do.

I personally went with Reflex because the spell is very similar to Magical Fetters and that's what the spell uses, but who knows if that's right.

Might want to put it in the 2026 Fall Errata thread, spring is already gone. :)

I would second the Reflex save, though I can see an argument made for it to be a Fortitude save similar to Retrieving Hook.

As long as the table is consistent, it would be fine until Paizo puts out the errata.
