Contortions

Basic Action

You can try to slip out of ropes, manacles or other restraints, as well as openings to small for an ordinary human to move through. In an action scene you can try to do this any number of times; out of action all rolls after the first one are considered Limit Breaks and the GM can have script reasons for you to fail.

You use Reflexes for these stunts, and the difficulty depends on the mode of restraint used. Regardless of the method employed, the minimum difficulty is the binder's Melee skill. Certain methods of restraint have other set difficulties.

Restraint	Difficulty
Simple handcuffs, hole wider than your shoulders but too narrow to crawl in.	5
Manacles, hole as wide as your hips but not your shoulders.	10
Straightjacket, foot cuffs, hole as wide as your head but not your hips	15
Bonds custom-adjusted for you	20

The Escape artist schtick lets you use your Maneuver instead of your Reflexes for these rolls.
