Well... with reduction of blackjack time I dont have time to bind now.

Couple ideas:
1) Let binders stay in shadows while they bind.
2) Make bind_legs/bind_hands last longer in combat.
As of now they are typically gone within first round of combat.

Also while you addressed problem with spells-ups, how about fixing gang problem (http://www.qhcf.net/cforum/logs/vpost.pl?50702).
Kimberly had no chance to escape here. Because of the truss.
