10.0 Traps

Cases:

10.1 Detrapping

10.11 Sometimes doors (see 5.26) or chests containing treasure (see 9.16) are guarded by traps. Thieves have the ability to remove traps so that they do not affect the party.

10.12 If a trap is encountered, one Thief in the party may be delegated to remove it. Roll 1D6; if the number rolled is less than or equal to the Thief's Detrapping Skill as shown on his Character Record, the Thief has successfully removed the trap. The Thief immediately receives 10 Experience Points for doing so.

10.13 If there is no Thief in the party, some other party member must be delegated to open the door or chest. (The door or chest must be opened even if a trap has been found). The adventurer automatically suffers the effects of the trap. If a Thief attempts to remove a trap and fails, he also suffers its effects.

10.2 Effects of Traps

10.21 If a trap has effect, roll 1D6 and refer to the Trap Table (see 10.3).

10.22 If the result on the Trap Table is Arrow, an arrow or bolt is shot from the trap. Roll 1D6 and refer to the Combat Results Table under the Bow column to determine whether the arrow strikes the adventurer opening the trapped door or chest (there is no Combat Bonus), and the number of Wounds suffered if any.

10.23 If the result is Poisoned Arrow, follow the procedure above (see 10.22), but if the arrow strikes, the affected adventurer takes 1D3 Wounds from poision (in addition to the Wound inflicted by the arrow).

10.24 If the result is Poison Gas, the affected adventurer immediately suffers 1D3 Wounds from poison.

10.25 If the result is Explosion, all adventurers (and charmed monsters) in the party immediately suffer one Wound.

10.26 If the result is Flaming Oil, the affected adventurer immediately suffers 1 Wound.

10.27 If the result is Roll Twice, roll the die two times on the Trap Table, and two traps are triggered. If a second Roll Twice results, roll twice again (for a total of three traps). Theoretically, if enough 6's are rolled, there could be an infinite number of traps.
