The chains are manacles that go from the neck to the arms, but the chains long enough it doesn't restrict you too much. It's more there for something for them to grab onto and drag you about than to actually restrain you. They will make climbing and any form of acrobatics a little more difficult but unless you want to put your hands right above your head they're not an issue.<br/><br/>They're not very comfy either, but that probably is the least of anyone's problems right now.
