Traps and Hazards

Traps have the following major traits:

• a DC to notice the trap
• a DC to disable the trap
• target size (how big of an area it affects, or how many creatures it targets)
• a Reflex save DC
• Damage dealt, and any status conditions or special effects it inflicts (usually save for half, negating effects)
• Trigger description (what sets it off)
  • Triggering area size / size of trap (if applicable; can be different from size of trap's effect)

A trap will also sometimes have secondary traits:

• Cost of trap's components
• a DC to assemble / set the trap

Often, these secondary traits only matter if a player-character is setting the trap. Obviously, the cost of a trap is directly proportional to how powerful each of the trap's major traits are.
