Bind

Description
This feat allows the character to generate an arcane cord binding the target's arms for thirty seconds. This restriction prevents the use of weapons, physical shields, items or the activation of any feats. The character activating this feat must call the tagline “Bind” as the attack is delivered. If the attack is unsuccessful, the feat is still spent.

The target is not made to drop any held items but his/her arms must be held down by his/her sides for the duration of the effect. If the target reaches dying or dead status the effect will dissipate. Also, a character with ten points of strength can break out of the effect on a ten second count (Breaking One, Breaking Two…).

Spell Delivery
As a spell, this feat will affect any target even if the packet is caught on a weapon or shield. It can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Spell, a Confining ability, or Any ability.

Ranged Delivery
As a ranged attack, this feat can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Ranged Attack, a Confining ability, or Any ability.

Melee Delivery
As a melee attack, this feat can be physically dodged or diffused by any Evade, Negate or Shield effect that can target a Melee Attack, a Confining ability, or Any ability.
