Failure by 5 or less still unlocks the lock, but triggers the trap. The trap also triggers if an attempt to disarm fails by more than 5.AttackOpportunity Action - MeleeTarget: Character trying to pick the lock.Attack: +6 vs. FortitudeHit: 2d6+6 poison damage, and target loses a healing surge. If she has no healing surges left she instead falls unconscious (no save).Countermeasures* A DC 22 Thievery check to disarm the trap, removes the needle. Failure by more than 5 triggers the trap.* A DC 25 Thievery check opens the lock without triggering the trap.* A DC 20 Thievery check opens the lock, but triggers the trap.* A DC 15 Dungeoneering check grants a +2 to the characters Fortitude defense against the trap.Upgrade to Elite (250 XP)Increase attack bonus and DC's for Perception and Thievery by 2.</blockquote>
