Stronger rope

[darknighthg]

Is there a rope that require a higher Str check to break? Or a spell/feat/class ability/mundane itema that make a rope harder (higher Str check to break) or creates something permanent (or long-duration) with the same caracteristics you could use the "Use rope"skill?

The augment object spell (Stronghold Builder's Guide, p41) adds +20 to an object's break DC and lasts 1 day/level. 

Earthsilk rope (Races of Stone) is slightly stronger than silk rope.

The thing is I wanted to use "Use Rope" with it. And apparently... chains don't count.
I'm sure I've read there is a "cable" that can be used like rope. But I don't remember where

it changes to a rope. then once it is fit to be tied, it changes material to something harder.

Ah, yes.  It's in Savage Species.

I don't know if this helps, but there's a "Rope of Stone" in MIC p.176 (800Gps). It's a silk rope that becomes as hard as stone on command, but is still usable.
The hardness and HPs change to that of stone, but i saw nothing regarding the break DC, sorry...

here's something simple:
unless I'm completely off base, I would imagine that simply masterwork quality would add +2 to the break DC.

Actually is not what I'm looking for. I can get ropes with more hardeness or hp. But it's really hard to get a higher Str check needed to break it. Also I'm trying to tie strong creatures (like terrasque, or something like that). So they don't have any chance to use "scape artist" to free themselves (the DC is about 50 or higher), but they can easily burst the ropes (with +17 Str mod, a DC of 24 is a roll of a 7).

Where says that. I couldn't find it

Arms& Equipment Guide has Elven Rope.  DC 25 to break.  Not a whole lot better, but it also is a +3 circumstance bonus on your use rope check.

Stronger than that, I'm not sure if there is anything.

EDIT: Earthsilk Rope from Races of Stone is DC26 to break  No bonus to Use Rope, though.

Oh -- I'm just pulling shit out my ass at this point .... but I point to manacles as precedence.
