new ways to have a rope handy?

[greycastle]

after reading one of the Ed Greenwood/aka elminster books, i remember reading somewhere about these theives who tied the ropes around their bodies.

My question is, would say a 50ft Rope Silk (standard) inhibit dexterity, create armour check penalty, possibly add AC?

IMHO i don't think it would create any of these things, but opinons are wanted.

thanks in advance.

Thieves and burglars in literature often do this. With a good rope, it's not that bad.

We've always allowed characters to do this with silk rope. Sort of justifies the higher cost.
