Manly Man Dungeon

Here is another installment of exTRAPaganza, our Thursday over-the-top trap series. 

Every time the party enters combat, everyone becomes transformed into fighting machines. Each party member gains a +4 enhancement bonux to Strength, Dexterity and Constitution, a +4 natural armor bonus to AC, a +5 competence bonus on Fortitude Saves, and proficiency with all simple and martial weapons. Base attack bonus equals character level. However, the target loses all spellcasting ability, including spell activation or completion magic items.

Tiresome Door (CR 1)

 

A worn door stands before you.

Type: magical; Perception DC 25; Disable Device DC 25 Trigger touch; Reset auto

Speak Easy (CR 6)

 

Several books, all in different languages lie on bookshelves and a desk.

Type: magical; Perception DC 30; Disable Device DC 30 Trigger touch; Reset none

Effect

If any of the magic books are disturbed, the trap goes off. Speak Easy (DC 22 Will Save or whenever target speaks, no matter the language, everyone that can hear understands. This is a permanent effect, and can only be removed with dispel magic or the like at CL 9) Tongues

Chest Cold (CR 4)

 

The chest is wrapped up in a large, marble arm that acts as a lock/restraint.

Type: magical; Perception DC 28; Disable Device DC 28 Trigger touch; Reset none

Effect

The arm can be cut off to open the chest, but when it does, it causes a purple opaque 20′ radius sphere to form around the chest, and the temperature drops to -10 F. However, outside of the sphere, the temperature in the room is -80 F. This lasts for two hours. While inside the sphere, unprotected targets must make a DC 15 + 1 per previous check Fortitude Save or take 1d6 non-lethal damage every 10 minutes. If a target goes outside, they take 1d6 lethal damage every minute (no save), plus 1d4 non-lethal damage unless they make a DC 15 + 1 per previous check Fortitude Save. Targets taking any non-lethal damage are treated as fatigued. The doors in the room have iced shut, and require a DC 30 break check to open, or a target can hack through 1 inch of ice (3 HP) and then cut down the door normally (10 hardness, 60 hp) Tiny Hut

Type: magical; Perception DC 33; Disable Device DC 33 Trigger proximity; Reset none

Effect

A DC 25 Perception check reveals that all the watches are stopped. More jeweled watches sit in a small pile in a chest. If a watch is picked up, the trap is set off. Garden (After 1 minute, the target becomes frozen in time, ceasing to age and nothing can harm it. This condition can only be removed by something like dispel magic or freedom. The effect has a CL of 16. A DC 27 Fortitude Save negates this effect. The watch also stops when the target is frozen.) Temporal Stasis

Rock and an Ethereal Place

Here is another installment of exTRAPaganza, our Thursday over-the-top trap series. 

As you get near the end of the long tunnel, a huge rock rolls your way. While the rock is easy to outrun, about 50 feet down, there is a circle that’s nearly impossible to see etched on the floor. When this circle is stepped on, it teleports the target 1 foot in front of the rock, facing it. Unless they make a really hard reflex save, the rock is going to roll right over them.

Effect

If a target jumps across the gap, they set off the trap. Two with One Trap (DC 22 Will Save or target is teleported immediately behind another target on the bridge. Both targets must then make a DC22 Reflex save or fall, taking 10d6 damage. If there are no other targets on bridge, then target is teleported to edge of bridge, and must make the DC 22 Reflex Save to avoid falling and taking 10d6 damage) Teleport
