Manacles

Manacles are a common means of keeping prisoners under control. Manacles can be removed either by an Escape Artist check or by a Strength check. You're welcome to try to teleport out of them. The DC for all of these checks varies based on whether or not the manacles are masterwork, and likely also vary from city of origin to city of origin.
While manacles can merely be considered as an object to be freed from, some people are perfectly happy to function while thus restrained. No, not like that. We're talking 'grappling sharks underwater as you plummet together to the ocean floor'.
OR ARE WE.
==Penalties Conferred While Wearing Manacles==
If you are not Ulfgar, manacles are going to be a problem for you. We're talking penalties to dex checks and swim checks, here. Maybe even some penalties to wis checks.
