Spool of Endless Rope

This spool of silk rope comes with a belt loop so that it can be hung conveniently at the user’s side.

A spool of endless rope holds an unlimited amount of the finest silk rope.

To use a spool of endless rope, you feed out as little or as much rope as desired, up to a maximum of 500 feet at any one time. When you are finished with the rope, you can simply wind it back onto the spool. (Feeding out or rewinding requires 1 full-round action per 50 feet of rope.)

The rope can’t be entirely separated from the spool, though it can be cut or broken like a normal silk rope. Any portion of rope cut away from the spool disappears instantly.

Rope from a spool of endless rope can be spliced or knotted together with another rope (including one from a second spool of endless rope), but it can’t be wound back into the spool while so attached.
