- Cost: 100 gp
- Weight: 2 lbs.
This 50-foot length of rope is woven of strands of silk from monstrous spiders that has been elaborately woven, and treated with an alchemical solvent to eliminate any stickiness on its surface. It is lightweight, and considerably stronger than the traditional hempen rope, or even (normal) silk rope. A spider silk rope can hold up to 1,200 pounds of weight suspended from it, and can reduce the DC of Movement checks to climb, or Might checks to maintain a grip on steep or vertical surfaces.
Spider's silk rope can only be sundered by a slashing weapon or a weapon with the sunder weapon quality. The DC to escape spider silk rope bonds is equal to 20 + the CR (challenge rating) of the creature that tied the bonds. Ropes do not need to make a check every round to maintain the pin. Spider silk rope has a sunder DC of 19, and 2 points of durability.

Generally speaking, lay magic items may not be purchased at character creation, and they may be completely unavailable in low fantasy or magic-scarce campaign settings. Consult your GM.
