[QUOTE="Khime, post: 4436798, member: 35943"] PHB p57: "Enemy" or "enemies" means a creature or creatures that aren’t your allies (whether those creatures are hostile toward you or not). Enemies are creatures; a trap is not a creature, so it's not an enemy. It's an object. I assume you are referencing p116 of the DMG, which mentions "Enemies oppose or hinder the characters." This sentence is in the secion on an adventure's cast of characters, though, and is not a rule redefining what is considered an enemy. If a power says it can target an object, you can use your power on it. Additionally, per the PHB errata, "At the DM’s discretion, a power that targets a creature can also target an object, whether or not the power lists an object as a potential target." Hunter's Quarry and Warlock's Curse both target enemies, not objects. And both are class features, not technicially powers. So by the rules, either no, you can't use them on traps, or you can only use them on traps with the DM's permission. [/QUOTE]
