Monster: Animated Manacles

Monster: Animated Manacles

Monster Manual provides statblocks for animated objects of various sizes, but does not specify the type of the object in question. Pathfinder RPG, on the other hand, provides several statblocks for
specific animated objects. Let's try to stat up something weird - the animated manacles. I was not sure how to represent their ability to actually shackle people, so I decided to give them Accessory (Manacles). Thus, the manacles are incapable of damaging anyone, unless they use All-Out Attack (Strong), but can shackle people like Iron Shackles from GURPS Low-Tech, page 130.
