[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 4179938, member: 12037"] Here's something I threw together for the boulder. This is how I see it working in game. This is built with the assumption of a melee heavy party or equally balanced party between range and melee. If you have lots of ranged it probably won't work as well. The red areas are the path of the boulder (I made it large sized). The blue areas are the places that the kobolds can trigger the trap. M = Kobold Minion S = Kobold Slinger The PCs arrive from the southwest area. [img]http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=33727&stc=1[/img] The kobolds begin by shooting at the PCs (jumping out from cover trying for surprise or whatever). The two closer ones retreat down the corridor to hide behind the trap while the others shoot at the PCs or move to cover if they return fire. Then one of the minions behind the traps ready actions to trigger the trap when the PCs approach (insert clues for something going on here). The traps roll on the PCs and attempt to knock them down and push them back. Note that in both boulders, the path is shorter than its movement. It covers some squares multiple times per round. The kobolds continue shooting at the PCs. The PCs have cover, but so do the kobolds, and the slingers are made for range with the minions using spears, the PCs might have to retreat. [/QUOTE]
