This is more a rule question then a optimization question, but I don't know where else post it.

I have a Barbarian/Black Blood Cultist grappling build planned out and I was wondering what the rules were for trying to force manacles onto an opponent. Also where the rules can be found. (Probably the PHB, but I can't find them.)

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Pinning an Opponent, pg 156 of the PH. See also the Justiciar prestige class in the Complete Warrior, which gets Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Manacles.

The Justicar's 'hog-tie' ability is what I remembered seeing. I guess I need 5 levels before I can start cuffing my opponents during a grapple. I might have to reevaluate my build Justicar or Black Blood Cultist???

Thanks again for the help Character Optimization Board rocks!!!

No problem. When you mentioned manacles, I immediately thought of the Justiciar prestige class. Ranger 3/Scout 2/Bloodhound 10/Justiciar 5 is one of my favorite simple builds, if underpowered by CharOp standards.

Search for the Garotte Assassin on this board.

Here it is.

Plenty of that stuff in there.
