It’s 15 pounds per point of Strength.Since the servant is mindless, you have to direct it to push the tripwire. That means you have to know where it and/or actually see it. Which likely means you have to be closer than 60 feet. How far away would you let a person be before they saw a thin, camouflaged wire? Especially if it’s not in a brightly lit area.You also have to hope that Strength 2 is enough to trigger a pressure plate or pull a lever or do whatever else is needed to trigger the trap.You also have to hope that you have a spellcaster who knows unseen servant and can cast it as a ritual (and you have 10 minutes to spare), and that it doesn’t take any damage before it triggers your trap. Fun fact! The servant doesn’t fly, so a single caltrop will destroy it. And you also have to hope that triggering the trap instead of disarming it won’t cause more damage than it’s worth—such as if the trap causes an explosion or dumps acid that destroys the trapped object that you had actually wanted to take, or causes the door to slam shut so it can’t be opened again, or summons a really powerful monster, or makes the roof cave in, or alerts the person you were hoping to sneak up on, thus causing you to lose the element of surprise, or that the trap works so it actually affects everyone who isn’t right next to the trapped object But yeah, only a brain-dead person wouldn’t trigger a trap from afar.</blockquote>
