Not Used: Levitating and Traps

It would be neat levitating PC's (and monsters such as Beholders) be immune to triggering most traps? Seeing as most traps are tripwires, I'd expect that someone who levitates goes right over them.

Depends on how high the tripwire is I would think.

Personally, I'd set a tripwire around knee high at least, so the target wouldn't possibly 'step over' the wire.

That's why I said Most. I realize that there should be traps that can't be avoided, especially any on objects such as doors, but some should be avoided. Maybe give levitating PCs a bonus to saves vs. traps instead of full immunity?

I think this issue is one of those tough situations where game mehcanics meets reality.... and game mechanics needs to win out in the end... with some sort of explanation involving low-tech proximity detectors....

or something

I suppose that's a good point - and besides, how often do you run into traps beyond the two on the bridge? Was just one of those random thoughts while I was toying with the new (and AWESOME) traps.

There's a few very decent traps to snag PCs.

And lately, when on in DM mode... I've grown rather fond of traps. Many epic level PCs don't bother investing much, if anything into search, so traps are a very nice supplement to baddies.

Simply because i been dyin for a thread to use this on..... not sure how well it applies heh heh

hehe

I totally LOL'd on every single one of those pics

I've seen the cat with the watermelon befor but those others were great, lol!

Not really worth the time to edit every single trap script in the game to account for something only epic sorcerers and wizards (and ascended PCs) can do, especially since not all traps technically use "tripwires".
