Chill Touch Trap
A trivially easy riddle etched on a surface is enchanted to trigger when the answer is heard, which releases the spell stored within the trapped object. The object is covered in arcane symbols and writing.
Effect: +4 to hit against one target, Casts Chill Touch centered on the trigger with DC 11 (if relevant)
Trigger: false riddle, activates when an easy riddle is answered correctly.
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 riddle. A successful dispel magic (DC 11) cast on the riddle destroys the trap.
Casting dispel magic (DC 20) on the trap will cancel the stored spell.Rune of Fear
A trivially easy riddle etched on a surface is enchanted to trigger when the answer is heard, which activates a rune of power, fearing the target. The surface is covered in runes.
Effect: Targets all creatures within 10 ft., DC 11 WIS save or become frightened for 3 (1d4) rounds
Trigger: false riddle, activates when an easy riddle is answered correctly.
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 riddle. A successful dispel magic (DC 11) cast on the riddle destroys the trap.
Casting dispel magic (DC 20) 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.
Substance | AC |
---|---|
Cloth, paper, rope | 11 |
Crystal, glass, ice | 13 |
Wood, bone | 15 |
Stone | 17 |
Iron, steel | 19 |
Mithral | 21 |
Adamantine | 23 |
Size | HP (Fragile) | HP (Resilient) |
---|---|---|
Tiny (bottle, lock) | 1 (1d4) | 3 (2d4) |
Small (chest, lute) | 1 (1d6) | 17 (3d6) |
Medium (barrel, chandelier) | 5 (1d8) | 20 (4d8) |
Large (cart, 10x10 ft. window) | 7 (1d10) | 26 (5d10) |
