Introduction

Trapcrafting allows characters to make their own traps. Any class build can be a trapcrafter. There are two trapcrafting systems in Avlis. The original system was developed by Deider in 2006 and then improved by Croton in 2009. This page refers to a newer system added in 2021 which adds Trapcrafting to the Avlis Crafting System (ACS).

Getting Started

To become a trapcrafter you need to acquire a Trapcrafting Kit. There are a few merchants in Negaria who will sell you this kit. You can do several things with the kit:

  • If you use the kit and target a spot on the ground it will spawn a trapcrafting station (a small bag which represents the kit). You will use this station to make traps. If you use the kit and target another spot on the ground while you already have a station out the original station will be destroyed and a new one will spawn where you targeted it. When a trapcrafting station is destroyed anything inside it is spilled onto the ground.
  • If you use the kit on a stack of arrows, bolts, darts or shuriken it will prime that item, allowing it to be used as a component in the creation of projectile traps.
  • If you use the kit on your PC you will get a temporary Craft Trap synergy bonus to set traps (see below for details).

Note: The Trapcrafting Kit is not a Plot item.

The trapcrafting station is a placeable which can hold inventory. It can be destroyed in two ways:

  • targeting it with your Trapcrafting Kit
  • through physical attacks and spells

Destroying the station always dumps its contents on the ground.

One difference between Trapcrafting and other ACS tradeskills is its portability. For other tradeskills such as Blacksmithing and Tailoring you must go to one of the many crafting stations available throughout the servers. With Trapcrafting you can make traps anywhere.

Trapcrafting Experience and Progression

As a part of ACS, Trapcrafting provides both tradeskill and character XP. Trapcrafting XP has a level progression the same as character levels. The XP granted by the original system is different from the XP granted by the ACS version of Trapcrafting.

Differences Between the Original System and the ACS System

Both the original trapcrafting system and the new ACS system share the advantage of portability and both allow you to create the same standard traps which are found in Neverwinter Nights but there are several differences between the systems.

Advantages of the original custom system:

  • Custom traps (Blinding Light, Darkness, Thorny Tangle, Thunder & Lightning) can be made with different qualities based on the Craft Trap ranks of the crafter. Bonuses to set, detect and disarm the trap are tied to the skill of the trap crafter.
  • Custom traps can be set without breaking stealth.
  • Custom traps have various other features.

Advantages of the newer ACS system:

  • Can craft more than one trap at a time.
  • Crafting grants tradeskill and character XP.
  • Bonuses to set, detect and disarm all traps are tied to the Craft Traps skill of the trap setter.
  • The recipe list has been expanded to include new traps (see below).
  • All traps are NWN traps. Player Tool 5 is not needed to set or recover traps. All traps set by the PC will have a green trigger.

Traps

The list of traps which can be crafted via ACS is as follows. Items in blue are custom traps.

Detect DC: this is the DC of the Search check needed for someone to detect the trap. The trap setter's Set Trap skill is added to this DC.

Disarm DC: this is the DC of the Disarm Trap check needed for someone to disarm the trap. The trap setter's Set Trap skill is added to this DC.

Additional Notes on Custom Traps

Blinding Light, Darkness, Thorny Tangle, and Thunder & Lightning Traps have slightly different effects than the versions crafted in the original custom system.

  • Blinding Light Traps require anyone in the area of effect to make an additional reflex save at the same DC as the fortitude save for blindness. If the reflex save is failed the target is forced out of stealth mode. Also, all targets within the area of effect receive a Hide penalty equal to half the trap's save DC. The duration of this penalty is twice the blindness duration. There is no save for the Hide penalty.
  • Darkness Traps force anyone entering within a certain radius when the trap is triggered to make a will saving throw. If they fail they begin to cough; this drops them out of stealth and gives them a -20 Move Silently penalty for the same duration as the darkness.
  • Thorny Tangle Traps, when set by a ranger, grant an Entangle effect automatically to any targets who fail the reflex save.
  • Thunder & Lightning Traps have multiple effects in addition to electrical and sonic damage. Anyone in the trap's area of effect who fails a will save (the DC is the same as the reflex save for electrical damage) is stunned for a number of rounds corresponding to the trap's strength (1 round for minor, up to 5 rounds for epic). If the trap is set by an assassin or a bard then anyone in the area of effect must make a Discpline check against the trap's DC; those who fail are knocked down for the same number of rounds as the stunning effect.

Fire Traps have an increased area of effect when set by assassins. The radius of the area of effect is increased by a number of percentage points equal to the trap setter's assassin levels.

Gas Traps release a cloud of poison gas that persists for two rounds. Anyone entering the cloud must save vs. poison or take ability damage. Note that the poisons are different from the ones in standard NWN.

Projectile Traps (Arrow, Bolt, Dart, Shuriken) fire a stack of projectiles. Arrow traps fire at multiple targets while the other projectile traps fire at only a single target. A single attack roll is rolled against the target's AC. (There is no reflex save like with some other traps.) The stronger the trap the higher its base attack bonus (BAB) and the more powerful the damage is able to bypass damage resistance. Projectile traps require ammunition or thrown weapons to be crafted. For these items to be able to be used to craft a trap they first must be primed. To prime an item use the Trapcrafting Kit on it; the power level of the item will determine what strength of trap it can be used to make.

Magical Traps damage a single target with magical energy. The reflex save DC to avoid the trap is increased by one for every four ranks of Spellcraft possessed by the trap setter. Ranks from items and effects are included in this calculation.

Spell Traps must be primed with a spell to be used. After setting the trap someone near the trigger must cast a spell onto a Spell Trap Priming Device. Only hostile and summon spells can be used. Epic spells cannot be used. The spellcaster does not need to be the PC who set the trap. Once a spell trap is primed it cannot be primed again with a different spell unless the trap is recovered.

Synergy with the Craft Trap Skill

None of the tradeskills in ACS use any of the Bioware crafting skills (Craft Weapon, Craft Armor, Craft Trap) or feats (Brew Potion, Scribe Scroll, Craft Wand) which were introduced in the Hordes of the Underdark expansion. This holds true for the ACS version of trapcrafting. Ranks in Craft Trap do not increase your chance of successfully crafting a trap. However, ranks in the Craft Trap skill do offer other synergy bonuses:

  • If you use the Trapcrafting Kit on yourself you gain a temporary bonus to Set Trap for five rounds. This bonus is equal to your Craft Trap ranks divided by five (rounded down). Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation.
  • The detect DC of any trap you set is increased by one for every five ranks in Craft Trap, rounded down. Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation. (This does not include the custom traps which must be dropped to be set.)
  • The disarm DC of any trap you set is increased by one for every five ranks in Craft Trap, rounded down. Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation. (This does not include the custom traps which must be dropped to be set.)
