[QUOTE="Kaledor, post: 4376553, member: 15360"] I've read trhough the traps section of the DMG and thought it made sense, but when prepping the DMG-Sample dungeon, nothing seems to fit. [B]Question 1: In the DMG, Area 2 (p213)[/B] The Dart Trap is listed as making an immediate interrupt attack. This would imply that the trap only gets to make ONE attack each round, so once trap #2 has fired in the round, all other #2 trigger squares are free and safe. BUT the trap isn't listed with an Initiative Roll, which implies to me that it does really "take a turn"... So why is this an interrupt and not an Opportunity Attack (like the spear gauntlet trap on p87)?? Or perhaps a Free Action so that a character could get hit multiple times if they passed through multiple triggers (but that would probably make it too powerful). I'm just confused. [B]Question 2: In the DMG, Area 4 (p217)[/B] Not really a question and more of an observation: The boulder has an Initiative Roll, so it will take a turn just like any other creature in combat. Based on the text, it sounds like the boulder is supposed to attack the PC the moment they enter the room, but if you look at the course of the boulder... it goes in the opposite direction from the PCs :confused: I guess it will come around eventually. I guess it is just meant to be a moving obstical and something to make the room interesting. I am assuming that the boulder actually moves 16 squares a turn because it can take two move actions instead of a move and a standard. [B]Question 3: In the DMG, Area 5 (p218)[/B] How/why is there a white dragon squeezed in this room with only an exit made for a medium-sized creature ;) :p [/QUOTE]
