Cunning Trigger (Talent)

With a casual toss of a pebble, you rain destruction on your enemies, using their own trap against them.

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Rogue 6

Benefit: Once per round, the rogue may use a swift action to cause a trap within 30 feet of their space to trigger its Default Attack. In addition, if the trap normally only attacks its enemies (nearly always the rogue's friends, but you can never really tell with rogues...), the rogue may force the trap to target one additional creature of the rogue's choice that is within the trap's Default Attack range. (If the trap just attacks all creatures in the area, it is resolved as normal).

In addition, if the rogue wishes, they may increase the damage dealt by the trap by an amount equal to their sneak attack damage, when they trigger it in this manner.

Finally, if there is no trap present in the encounter, or all traps have been defeated, the rogue may spend a swift action to declare one space on the battlefield to be trapped, inflicting their sneak attack damage to whatever creature is standing there at that time. This ability can be used once per encounter, as long as the above conditions are met (i.e. there are no non-broken traps present). There is no to-hit roll, nor any saving throw against this damage.
