The book gives some examples of finished product but other then a range of damage per round it really say nothing about what should be used for a trap. I think that it leaves too much to, “o it works because of magic”. How do I set XP for a tarp at first (ext) level that goes off once vs. every round? How much damage should it do if it only goes off once instead of ever round? I get the idea that a trap in meant to be equal to a monster but monsters do things ever round not just once. I personally don’t like to have every trap just be an immobile monster waiting for some one to step were it can reach them so it can all of a sudden magically come to life and start fighting from its arrow slit.The damage is a big thing for me I don’t want to kill my PCs but at the same time a monster that does 1d6 per round in five rounds can do 5 to 30 points of damage. A trap that does 1d6 in the one round its active can only do 1 to 6 points of damage. How is such a low damage from a triggered device equal to a monster of the same level? </blockquote>
