The cuffs mention in the effect "If they remain intact". I am willing to assume because of this that they can be broke. Not only that but Zander is a SOLDIER, I'm fairly sure their main objective is for use in arresting criminals and turning them in to Shin-Ra. I could be wrong of course though so lets see what Tak has to say. |

They would be taken off at the end of the thread, one way or another. And look at the description...they cannot be removed by the wearer's own magic (since it is suppressed) or by any sort of brute strength. Someone else's magic could get them off, but it would likely cause some severe damage to the wearer in the process. The Key is the only way to get them off without some sort of collateral damage. |

If you wanted to add they had to be off by the end of the thread (or threads if it's multi-part due to them being taken to another location or needing to, or whatever, as long as its part of the same chain) I think it would end up looking much better. |

Exactly. I'm not trying to attack you, Tak and I'm not trying to deny these. I just want you to give people a fighting chance to get out of them. |

Read. I can create a durability for them if you want, so that there is a scale of how strong someone else's spell needs to be to break them. But know that anything that strong is gonna hurt the wearer quite a bit as well. |

Well, the thing is, if you create a durability, it would have to follow the material system. I don't agree with something that powerful without any escape or cost to you to use it except to buy it, because given enough, you could easily destroy someone that way. |

Nevermind, I'm going to reserve judgment until after Tak's next post.

Doesn't particularly like the Art of Fighting, but definitely wants to be the King of Fighters.
|
Best course of action: Have there be a minimum AP value, say, 1000, on an Accessory Shot to break it. However, as a failsafe measure, have it do a certain amount of damage, unreducible, to both whoever is wearing it and whoever breaks it. |

It seems improbable that this could disable magic on ANY person. There has to be some sort of way they can break out with their magic if it's a certain point, etc. Right now, these are just an item that say "NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" and if they were that strong, they would probably be quite rare and cost more. tl;dr IMO give the prisoner more ways to break free. |

Let's break this down then. - The Cuffs stop the wearer from using their own magic. - The Cuffs cannot be broken/removed by either the wearer's magic or any sort of brute strength (ripping them off, cutting them off, etc.). - The Cuffs can be broken/removed either with the Key or with an external application of magic (someone uses a Fire spell on them, for example). - The purpose of the Cuffs is to bind someone so they can be taken into custody. - If the wearer is still within the Cuffs at the end of a thread/story arc, then at the beginning of the next thread they are gone, and the player can have some sort of explanation of how they were removed so long as the owner of the Cuffs agrees with it. Here's an example of how they would be used: Zander manages to defeat Angel. He clamps on the Cuffs to prevent Angel from using magic to escape. After placing Angel in a secure anti-magic cell, he removes the Cuffs. ...or alternately... Zander manages to slap on the Cuffs in mid-battle with Nex. J uses an Aero spell to slice off the Cuffs, doing some damage to Nex in the process. The Cuffs are broken, and Zander will need to pay to get new ones. ...or... Zander slaps the Cuffs on Lini, but Lini gets away and the thread ends. At the beginning of the next thread, Lini is Cuff-less, and the backstory shows that he had Nex help remove them. The Cuffs are broken and Zander will need to get new ones. Multiple scenarios. |

Yes, but here's the thing Tak. You are effectively making an item that no matter how high their magic power is or how high their strength is, they can't break it. That makes no sense. I could understand it lowering their magic power to a point and if they're too weak, that point is 0, and having a hard time being broken... But if someone has 1,000 strength, those cuffs will get smashed. No amount of 'runes' (which is kinda bullshit btw and you know it, there is a material system for that very reason) will change that fact. If someone has 1,000 magic... Ya, good luck containing that. I can understand it limiting it. But not negating it completely to be an ultimate item that cannot be beaten no matter how strong you are and that completely nullifies your magic no matter how much you have. Because even a rock can be destroyed by lightning, and it doesn't normally conduct electricity. Try to run a spark through it? Won't work. Run millions of volts? Ya, it will be forced. It isn't fair to have a be-all end-all item that only costs you money, has no upper limits and pretty much, once on, reduces a person completely to being useless depending on their build. You're also assuming that people only cast through their arms. If they cast a materia through leg armor, would these affect them? Or does this create a complete nullification effect on whatever they touch? What is powering these things to have this kind of power? To power a force field or a negation device, you need energy.

As long as you agree with it? Uh, no. Do you think people will agree with having their entire magic rendered useless and their arms immobilized, making it quite difficult to fight and use weapons?
One of the scenaros you listed makes me think you plan on using these to detain PC's long term. |

Yes, because it isn't like Angel has allies that will break him out....like Alecto or Angeles. Right. *Rolls eyes* But okay Will, I see your point. How about this...
Thoughts? |

Other than you could probably make one set (since this will most likely cost more than 3K) and have it adjustable to multiple different sizes, at least now you have some basics that make it less "Instant win" and more "Fighting chance". So I'm not going to approve as I really don't know the system well enough, but I'll stop fighting as now I'm out of comfortable territory. In other words, you pretty much made me happy in the sense that they're now not perfect. |

200 Gil per item/accessory it can hold, reducing the combined weight of the them to 0. Seems about right. I just need to confirm that items and accesories inside the bag cannot be used until taken out. I think you could get away with making the bag itself weight 0, but that's just my opinion. |

Yeah, once something is in there, it can't be used until taken out. And I set it to 1 Weight just to be fair. |

It cannot hold Armor or Weapons, correct. |
