[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6280438, member: 20323"] [MENTION=54629]pukunui[/MENTION] I've done all kinds of puzzles & traps, is there something in particular you're looking for? One of my favs from my Dragon Mountain 4e conversion were kobold-trained gelatinous cubes fed explosive metal components that were floating suspended in it, but would contact the ground with a boom whethe cube was killed. Also from that adventure were the "Christmas tree bulb corpses" strung up by kobolds with fragile thunderstone encasing poison gas. Those were some of the more sophisticated traps in the dungeon, suiting the kobold trap makers. A while ago I did a fun "door to the thieves' guild" puzzle/trap which involved nine targets in the door you had to strike in the right order according to a riddle in order to bypass a buttload of traps. Striking a target in the wrong order activate an effect suiting the nature of the target (they were all types of rogues in Thieves' Cant). A long while ago, I ran a "which urn is the barghest in" puzzle/trap, which was a ton of fun and more of a logic puzzle based on previous investigation and planar knowledge. Selecting the wrong urn would suck you inside of it where you'd begin drowning (or choking, or burning, depending on that urn's effect). If someone released you from the urn, you'd still be shrunk, however. Only guessing the urn holding the barghest dispelled the effect. Geez, I could go on forever.
