Damage

Trap damage scales with player level and the base damage is either D3 or D6. Traps that use D3 as base damage can cause up to 10 points of damage (3D3 + 1) at level 20 and traps that use D6 as base damage can cause up to 21 points of damage (3D6 + 3) at level 20. Note that damage caused by traps cannot be resisted in most cases (magic trap is the only exception as long as its damage type isn't magic).

Trap Types

There are four types of traps, direct damage, snares, spawners and triggers. Direct damage traps and snares cause damage when you step on them and if you critically fail to rest or move out, snares hold you in place unless you manage to free yourself from the trap, spawners may spawn creatures and triggers trigger something. Most traps can be avoided by levitating above them

Water pits don't do damage when you jump in but if you end up drowning in one it's your own fault.

Trap Type: Trigger

Enjoy the instant death boulder. Pass a reflex check (using STR or AGI whichever is higher) or die.

Alarm Trigger
