[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3685509, member: 8314"] I was hoping to show a little more breadth of what kinds of things TRAPs give you. For example, if you're trying to demonstrate a culture, and you want it to be something the PCs hook into, you've got to build TRAPs around that culture. For example Threat: Although they use nonlethal methods, especially Strengh poisons, the Kovani attack intruders into their territory on sight, assuming them to be members or slaves of the Gua Minotaur tribe to the east. Problem: You can't speak to the elder council if you haven't completed the rites of adulthood. If you accept the challenge, you must hunt another predator in the wild, and you are given no equipment to do so. Asset: Each member of the tribe carries a string of beads woven into their hair or clothing; this string of beads tells a great deal about them, and if you spend time with the tribe you can learn to read these to understand why some are given more respect than others. Reward: A Kovani woman presents you with a string of beads, and smiles. You realize that the string of beads tells your story as well as the tribe knows it. That night you are taught of the secret paths that Kovani use through their territory; walking the path tells other Kovani that you are a friend. [/QUOTE]
