Creating Triggers and Traps: Triggers and traps are items, and are created as such.

Trap Triggers

Statistics

Detection Method: How the trigger detects a victim.

Stealth: How well the trigger is hidden. Some triggers can't be simply found at a glance and are instead hidden. By default, this makes them poorly-hidden, although you may choose to make them immediately obvious if you wish.

Cost: The number of points the trigger is worth. By doubling the price and making a DC 12 Legerdemain check, you can give the trigger +2 Stealth or improve it from poorly-hidden to decently-hidden.

Disarm: The Items check DC to break the trigger without triggering it, with 3 rounds of concentration. +2 to the DC brings it down to 2 rounds, or +5 to the DC brings it down to 1 round. +3 to the DC disables the trigger without breaking it.

Trigger List

Triplaser:

Detection Method: The triplaser detects when the path to the sensor on the other wall is obscured. When the creature starts to move past it, it can attempt a DC 12 Agility check as an immediate action to pull back before the tripwire is tripped.

Stealth: 2

Disarm: 5

Cost: 0.1 points

Button:

Detection Method: The button is intentionally pressed, as a minor action.

Stealth: Hidden

Disarm: 5

Cost: 0.1 points

Computer: This is a personal computer, carefully placed.

Detection Method: The computer has a camera and microphone.

Stealth: 4

Disarm: 6

• Sound Detector: This is a Program.

Detection Method: The microphone listens for loud noises. When a sound with a sufficiently low enough Stealth is detected, it triggers.

• Voice Recognition: This is a Program.

Detection Method: The microphone listens for someone's voice, with an Insight of +5. If a voice attempts to speak the passcode, but isn't on the permitted list, it triggers.

• Facial Scanner: This is a Program.

Detection Method: The camera looks for someone's facial features, with a Perception of 8. If a face presents itself to be scanned, but isn't on the permitted list, it triggers.

Trap Effects

Statistics

Stealth: How well the trap is hidden. Some traps can't be simply found at a glance and are instead hidden. By default, this makes them poorly-hidden, although you may choose to make them immediately obvious if you wish.

Cost: The number of points the trigger is worth. By doubling the price and making a DC 8 Legerdemain check, you can give the trigger +2 Stealth or improve it from poorly-hidden to decently-hidden. By doubling the price, you can give the trap +3 to Accuracy; this bonus may be obtained any number of times.

Disarm: The Items check DC to break the trap without triggering it, with 3 rounds of concentration. +2 to the DC brings it down to 2 rounds, or +5 to the DC brings it down to 1 round. +3 to the DC disables the trap without breaking it.

Trap List

Trapdoor: This opens to drop victims into a hazard below, then closes again after 1 round.

Stealth: Hidden

Disarm: 5

Cost: 0.5 points per square meter

Concealed Spikes: These spikes suddenly spring forward, making a 1 meter reach melee attack with an Accuracy of +2 for 1d6+2 Physical damage. The spikes retract after 1 round. Spikes can be coated with poison or disease.

During the first round, the ceiling is so low that hit creatures are effectively paralyzed.
