It also tells you how you affect the Search and Disable Device DCs.You could, of course, create a new skill: Set Trap (Dex). (maybe it can also have Int as key ability score). If you have 5 or more ranks in Disable Device, you get a +2 synergy to Set Trap.With that skill, you can create the usual traps: snares, pitfalls, and the like. You'd need a trap kit (or a masterwork trap kit, which gives a +2 bonus on the check) and other appropriate material: if you want to cover a hole with twigs and foliage (or dirt), you'll need a hole and foliage and the like, if you want to set a snare, you need rope or vines about. Your Set Trap check is opposed by the other's Search check. If the other one succeeds, he discovers the trap. From there, there should be no problem disarming the trap, so no Disable Device check is needed.</blockquote>
