Dungeon Traps FAQ
Questions about this table.
How do I make traps feel fair rather than punishing?
Every trap should have a tell - a scuff mark, a slightly different floor tile, a suspicious absence of dust. Players who declare they're being cautious should have a reasonable chance to notice something is wrong.
Should traps be lethal?
Traps that can kill outright work in high-lethality settings. For most campaigns, traps that deal significant damage and create a secondary complication (alarm, locked door, flooding room) are more interesting than instant death.
Can traps be disarmed and reused by players?
That depends on the mechanism and the rules you use. The entries do not assign disarm difficulty, required tools, or portability.
