A chain that appears to have a life of its own...
This is an animated object, a chain given life to serve a wielder. The length of the chain can vary, but it is usually around 15ft, and seems impossibly light to its wielder, but just as heavy as any other chain to others. They are typically carried by their wielders wrapped over the shoulder.
It can function as a whip (damage die changed to 1d8), rope, or manacles. When using it to constrain an opponent, you need not make the Sleight of hand check that the rope and manacles call for. The chain does not have a lock and requires a successful DC 25 Strength (Athletics) check to escape. You can command the chain to move whilst a person is grappled or restrained by it, and it will move them with it, however it is not powerful enough to lift them more than 5ft off the ground. You can also command the chain to release its victim at any point, and it will do so instantly, returning to you immediately.
The chain can float at a speed of 20ft if it need do so, however it can only do this if you command it to as a Bonus action on your turn. You can only do this if the chain is within 60ft of you and you are not unconcious.
Notes: clear, short rest restrained by the chains, Control, Debuff, Combat
