Trap Generator

Rune of Confusion

A door is trapped and either has buttons or holes to fit a weapon that produce a note, or requires an instrument to be played before it. If the wrong tune is played before opening the door then the trap is triggered, which activates a rune of power, confusing the target. The surface is covered in runes.

Effect: Targets all creatures within 10 ft., DC 12 WIS save or become confused for 1 (1d4) rounds

Trigger: musical tune, a musical tune can be heard elsewhere in the dungeon, and the tune must be repeated at a door or similar to disable the trap.

Countermeasures: A successful DC 10 Intelligence (Investigation) check allows a character to figure out that the lock requires a specific tune. A successful DC 15 Performance check can recall and play the tune if the character heard it. A successful dispel magic (DC 12) cast on the eye disables the trap. An unsuccessful check triggers the trap. Casting dispel magic (DC 12) will dispel the rune.

Rune of Fear

A phrase etched on a wall is enchanted to trigger when read aloud, which activates a rune of power, fearing the target. The surface is covered in runes.

Effect: Targets all creatures within 10 ft., DC 12 WIS save or become frightened for 2 (1d4) rounds

Trigger: forbidden phrase, activates when etched runes are read aloud.

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 phrase. A successful dispel magic (DC 12) cast on the phrase destroys the trap. Casting dispel magic (DC 12) will dispel the runes in the symbol.

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.
