A single Large or smaller creature can be captured thus and held immobile until the command word is spoken to bring the bands into spherical form again. The creature can break (and ruin) the bands with a DC 30 Strength check or escape them with a DC 30 Escape Artist check. Iron bands of binding are usable once per day.Strong evocation; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, grasping hand; Price 26,000 gp;Weight 1 lb.make something helpless with a touch attack 1/day? Doesn't sit right with me. Even bustable, a competent group will have the tanks and rogue ready to CDG the target before its initive tick.</blockquote>
