Electrified Lever
This trap is activated when a creature touches its surface, which delivers a dangerous surprise to anyone touching the lever.
Effect: Targets any creature that touches it, 4 (1d10) damage and DC 12 CON save or stunned for 1 round
Trigger: touch trigger, activates when surface is touched by a creature.
Countermeasures: A spell or other effect that can sense the presence of magic, such as detect magic, reveals an aura of divination magic around the surface. A successful dispel magic (DC 12) cast on the surface destroys the trap. Attempting to destroy the lever will trigger the trap, activating the lever at range (such as with Mage Hand) can trigger the trap from a safe distance.
Acid Splash Trap
A lever is rigged to activate when pulled that releases the spell stored within the trapped object. The object is covered in arcane symbols and writing.
Effect: +3 to hit (or DC 12) against one target, Casts Acid Splash centered on the triggerer
Trigger: lever, activates when the wrong lever is pulled.
Countermeasures: A successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check allows a character to deduce the trap's presence. A successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disarms the trap, disabling the trigger. Unsuccessfully attempting to pick it triggers the trap. Casting dispel magic (DC 12) on the trap will cancel the stored spell.
Destroying Traps
Traps can be damaged and destroyed, sometimes to good or bad effect. Pipes containing fire or poison will rupture and spray over the area, while mechanisms can be rendered inoperable with enough force. Determine the HP and AC of your traps based on the tables below. Sometimes a fragile trap is more dangerous than a resilient one if destroying it will fill the corridor with acid.

| Crystal, glass, ice | 13 |
| Wood, bone | 15 |
| Stone | 17 |
