Animate RopeTransmutation | Level: | Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1 | | Components: | V, S | | Casting Time: | 1 standard action | | Range: | Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) | | Target: | One ropelike object, length up to 50 ft. + 5 ft./level; see text | | Duration: | 1 round/level | | Saving Throw: | None | | Spell Resistance: | No | You can animate a nonliving ropelike object. The maximum length assumes a rope with a 1-inch diameter. Reduce the maximum length by 50% for every additional inch of thickness, and increase it by 50% for each reduction of the rope's diameter by half. The possible commands are “coil†(form a neat, coiled stack), “coil and knot,†“loop,†“loop and knot,†“tie and knot,†and the opposites of all of the above (“uncoil,†and so forth). You can give one command each round as a move action, as if directing an active spell. The rope can enwrap only a creature or an object within 1 foot of it-it does not snake outward-so it must be thrown near the intended target. Doing so requires a successful ranged touch attack roll (range increment 10 feet). A typical 1- inch-diameter hempen rope has 2 hit points, AC 10, and requires a DC 23 Strength check to burst it. The rope does not deal damage, but it can be used as a trip line or to cause a single opponent that fails a Reflex saving throw to become entangled. A creature capable of spellcasting that is bound by this spell must make a DC 15 Concentration check to cast a spell. An entangled creature can slip free with a DC 20 Escape Artist check. The rope itself and any knots tied in it are not magical. This spell grants a +2 bonus on any Use Rope checks you make when using the transmuted rope. The spell cannot animate objects carried or worn by a creature.
