Electronic Cuffs

Electronic Cuffs (TL9)

This is a rigid pair of handcuffs or leg irons, padded to avoid abrasions and used for restraining people or animals. It is controlled by an embedded remote-controlled micro-communicator, and incorporates a homing beacon for tracking the prisoner.

To break free of the restraints, win a Quick Contest of ST or make an Escape roll at -6 (-8 if both arms and legs are cuffed). The first try takes one second; further attempts require 10 minutes of struggle. Also available with collar and 10' leash (same weight) for animals, slaves, etc. It may incorporate neuronic restraints or a neural pacifier.
