A note on the Rope bondage, I think it would be really rare for Valentine to have come upon the Japanese rope binding, I think that at this point in history japan still had closed borders... Not entirely sure on that.. the farthest his travel would have taken him is china.<br/><br/>With that being said, individuality is also a concern. Anyone with a mathematical mind can look at a length of rope and create designs in his head, if Alistair is a person like that.. then I can see some interesting body ties.. nothing exceedingly fancy, but still complex.<br/><br/>If it were up to me, If you made any reference to japan or Japanese i would edit that out.. simplify the bondage just a bit if its to complicated. But as we Have Gm's... I go back to the golden rule of D&D with this one GM's word is law.
