Hopefully the thread can even act as a resource for others to peruse at their leisure.As implied by the namThat is a great article indeed. An important thing, however, is that I don't really believe any trap should be unavoidable. Not TOTALLY unavoidable that is. There should be some way to mitigate it even if it isn't likely.

I like the first thing but them why does the characters have Perception checks?http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29463499/Sage_Atop_The_Mountain:_Your_Trap_Issues_Solved?post_id=526408329#526408329Is it better to tell the players there is a trap and let them solve it or to make the trap attack them if they don't look for it?
