    actually if done right, the viewer would never see the dagger, you would see around it instead. You can hide things in the center of a telescope if you know what you are doing in designing it.

    one of my favorites.
    the steps in the middle make the rotating section bottom heavy, so that when they fall in to the bottom pit it rotates back, resetting itself.

    I don't know what the top chamber is for though, it looks like it might be meant to drop something on the guys trapped in the bottom pit but the door opens the wrong way.

    Someone posted this a while back, and while not a trap, it does make for an interesting hazard.
    "will you risk it, it could kill you, but it could also make you a god"

    Mirror of Distortion: These mirrors, created by mad cultists worshipping the transformative powers of chaos, are usually crafted as body-length rotating mirrors, but there have been stories of handheld and wall-length versions. These mirrors are also known as Canvases of the Deviant Artist by their creators, and they often subject itself. Upon gazing into this terrible mirror, the victim must make a DC 30 Will Save or roll randomly on the following table. Once a victim saves against or is affected by a Mirror of Distortion, they cannot be affected by that Mirror of Distortion for a year.

    1-5: The victim must make an additional DC 20 will save or be transformed into a Chaos Beast.
    6-10: The victim is transformed as though Baleful Polymorph was cast upon them.
    11-15: The victim is transformed as though Flesh to Stone was cast upon them.
    16-20: The victim is transformed into an Animate Object one size category below that of the victim's original size.
    21-25: The victim's alignment is shifted to its polar opposite.
    26-30: The victim cannot bring themselves to tear their gaze away from their reflection, and react violently when someone tries to bring them away from the mirror.
    31-33: The victim's mind is opened to the whole of the universe for a short time, and what they see changes the way they think forever. Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are all increased by 6.
    34-36: The victim's body transforms into an image of physical perfection by the whims of chaos. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are all increased by 6.
    37-46: The victim's shrinks two size categories.
    47-49: The victim grows two size categories.

    Now for a decent trap, one I helped design right here on /tg/...
    ________
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    There stands a solid stone tower with no door with which it can be opened; however, you and your cohorts can see an open window grate and a long braided lock of hair leading from it to make as a crude rope (as per the "Rapunzel" story). As one brave adventurer climbs it and reaches the halfway point, a trigger sets the hair ablaze from the bottom (and we all know how fast human hair burns), so that adventurer is faced with a small dilemma - jump off the tower and suffer damage but yield no glory of perhaps saving a fair maiden, or reach the open window to safety.

    If the adventurer climbs: the tower at the top has the look of an elegant carpeted room, but empty as it is. As the adventurer enters to investigate, the carpet - though seemingly placed on a sturdy floor - falls down to the tower's lowest depths, taking the adventurer with it. At the same time, a short cord connected to the grate pulls it shut where a lock is heard clicking shut. The adventurer is trapped inside with no way up or out.

    Means of death?
    - Concealed spikes;
    - a deep well of water, possibly filled with vicious pirahnas; or
    - for the true sadist, a hard stone floor, broken bones and a slow and painful starvation.

    50-53: The victim must reroll their race as though being returned to life by Reincarnate.
    54-58: The victim's twisted, chaos-wracked form cannot support life. If the victim is not restored to their normal form within a minute, they rise as an allip.
    59-62: The victim is slowly, painfully inflated to a spherical shape. Upon contact with a slashing or piercing weapon, the victim explodes in a shower of gore.
    63-65: The victim's mind is assailed by images of unrelenting chaos and perversity. Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are all decreased by 6, and the character can only take one standard or move action in combat.
    66-69: The victim's current weight triples. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are all decreased by 6, and the victim's landspeed decreases by 10 feet.
    70-79: The victim's gender is swapped. If the victim is genderless, a gender is randomly assigned.
    80-84: The victim is rendered permanently invisible.
    85-87: The victim's physical and mental scores are switched.
    88-90: The mirror acts as a Mirror of Life Trapping, ensaring victim.
    91-95: The mirror acts as a Mirror of Opposition, and summons a murderous duplicate of the victim.
    96-97: The mirror acts as a Mirror of Mental Prowess.
    98-100: The mirror transforms into a portal, offering the victim what is essentially a heaven that they will never return from.

    Don't know what system it's for though.

    There's kind of a point where those traps don't make sense, given that whoever put something in there to guard isn't able to retrieve it himself, that trap cannot possibly be reset, will wreck up the place, make the intruders unidentifiable, and destroy the guarded items and all the adventurers carried.

    I remember a great story about this death trap that was easily beaten by a level 0 spell.

    Basically, it was a ten foot pit trap; you fell down and it cast a spell that summoned a swarm of spiders - not giant, regular sized, but poisonous and hostile. You'd have to fight the spiders, get worn down and maybe poisoned. There's a whole corridor of these traps. Individually, they'd be a nuisance, but all together they're easily an agonising TPK. Especially since it resets and the corridor rotates when you fall in, so it's possible to keep falling in and having more and more swarms summoned.

    So the Cleric looks down the corridor after the first trap, expecting more of the same, and just goes "Create Water". Sends waves of water down the corridor over and over again, flooding the pit-traps, including the ones he can't see. Just a few inches high, admittedly. But enough to, say, instantly drown a swarm of spiders that gets summoned.

    The "DM is Trolling" tumbledryer.
    This trap deals no damage, but is a set of 10 concentric cylinders rotating at a decent speed.
    In their center is the exit.
    A character must make a DC20 Athletics check to pass up into the next highest cylinder. Additionally, a character must pass a DC15 Athletics check to stay in their current cylinder, or else they fall down to a lower one.

    The DM sits back and laugh his asses off as players roll dice for half an hour to get past the one trap.

    A bit of clever layout.
    A spear gauntlet where you have to trigger the primary trigger before the other triggers become active.
    In this configuration you have to actually stand on a trapped tile in order to access the traps controls. no problem if you haven't tripped the trap, but if you have you have to willingly walk into an attack to get to it.
    Additionally if you traveling with others they will get attacked by the trap as well if they are following you.

    While I agree its probably not possible to reset, perhaps the whole point is to make it so that the object in question isn't able to be retrieved?

    Another trap I just made now. Wizards will definitely see the benefit of this, if they have the right feats. A personal favorite spell combination made especially for those pesky and greedy intruders.
    ________
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    You are given the task of breaking into an old wizard's den and stealing two special items that cannot be reproduced by just anyone - the fact of the matter is they're rods of metamagic*, but not any ordinary rods.

    You creep up to his tower and, through a window, see the powerful wizard practicing with the rods in a way only he can. What you don't see: as the wizard prepares to sleep, he combines the powers of the rods into a triad of devastating - but not at all lethal - spells. They are:

    - a "flesh to stone" spell, bound to the earth;
    - a "shrink item" spell, delayed to trigger only a moment later and bound to the same exact spot; and
    - a "stone to flesh" spell, in the same spot, yet set to trigger after the other two have gone.

    The wizard sets them then on the shelf in his study, unguarded. As the tricky thief breaks in and heads for the shelf, the traps trigger! First, the thief is frozen in stone; after that, he shrinks to fit in the palm of your hand; finally, the spell lets him become human again, a mere four inches tall at best. When the wizard wakes the next morning, he'll find the thief stumbling along the now-endless floor... and if the wizard plays his cards right, perhaps he'll have a new pocket-sized assistant.

    ...but the thief got what he deserved in the end for trying to steal the wizard's greatest treasures - his metamagic rods of Delaying and Earthbinding.

    The only spell that does this directly is "Reduce Person" and that only reduces them by one size category.
    "Shrink Item" works only on items (the statue-slash-thief now qualifying) shrinks him to Fine size (if he was previously Medium).
    >Or perhaps paralyse the thief.
    You could, provided the thief doesn't have someone to back him up and find a way to reverse the paralysis.
    >Or turn him into a statue and leave him that way?
    Then you merely have a five- to six-foot-tall lawn ornament (albeit "exquisitely crafted"). You could sell it, but who would want it?

    Plus this way, he's more easily tortured.
    Set him into a small spell component satchel with limited air and watch him beg for release; put him in a bulbous glass vial (fairies from Legend of Zelda, anyone?) and watch him struggle to get out; or simply give him incentive to make you want to bring him back to regular size with permanent Enlarge Person spells re-applied.

    hmm... not may people contributing.
    so far I count OP, >>10312190 , and me.
    Lets expand this thread to include puzzles as well.

    ========================================

    Here's one, throughout the dungeon are rhymes etched into the stone walls, the rhymes give hints and warnings about whats ahead. They never lie, and have eight syllables in each line.
    At the beginning of the dungeon, they don't really mean much, of course there going to look for traps down a suspiciously empty hallway. For the most part they give warnings and threats, but no real advantage to reading them, and the PCs may even fail their spot check to notice them a few times.
    But later down the road the PCs are given a choice between 3 corridors, and the rhymes etched into the floor of each one say its safe, But in reality 2 of the corridors
    are not, one has a impossible to survive trap, and one dumps you into an underground river that washes the PCs all the way back outside forcing them to start again.
    Now here's the solution, all the rhymes say their corridor is safe, but only one of the rhymes has 8 syllables.
    Your players have to pick up on this in order to solve the puzzle.

    The lol trap.
    Stepping between two walls activates a wall of force immediately in front of the place where the walls are.
    The floor has sensitive pressureplates that only trigger when roughly 5 times an adventurer's weight is on them (i.e. when you fall down and go bump).
    The trap then casts Laughter at any valid target(s) behind the wall of force.

    So far treasure is what you've found,
    But journey deeper underground,
    And you shall get a whole new fate,
    One that you will most surely hate.
    Now take your gold and take your dead,
    Go back the way you came instead.


    The corridors rhymes:
    This path is clear So do not fear.

    Do not fear, this path is clear

    You are in the clear, no traps down here.

    No; the rods are merely there to let the wizard cast the trap spells. With the feats but without the rods, the wizard would have to specially research an 11th-level spell slot. This way, he can still cast it and have it a 6th-level spell.

    There's no real way to enlarge items... though if you were in the market for a massively-sized statue warrior, talk to a Wu Jen. They have two spells that might help: "Giant Size" (allows someone to be Colossal-sized, but I believe it's personal range) and "Terra Cotta Warrior" (turns a statue into a warrior).
    Both are in Complete Arcane, if I recall.

    Actually, the theory behind it is sound (and by the way, it's double the size, eight times the weight). I've managed to pull it off in-game once. The statue (and everything in and on it) is reduced by four size categories, and is reduced to 1/4000th of its weight. Tactically speaking, once it's human again, it has no space or reach, but it still functions as a Fine-sized creature.

    Perhaps. Flesh to Stone and the like do state they work on any one creature, so why would it not apply to non-humans?

    Or as a form of torture, you could easily use Polymorph spells to transform the people into animals once they're reduced to a small enough size and still have it be permanent. For example, if you wanted a pocket-sized wolf in your care, catch a wolf in the "trap" or just PAO a newly-transformed human into a wolf. They fall within the main three categories:

    Same kingdom (animal)
    Same class (mammal)
    Same size

    That automatically qualifies it to be of permanent duration. You can also use this trick to re-size the trapped character instantly back to Medium-size providing they've redeemed themselves first, but permanent Enlarge Person spells stacked gives them more incentive to behave.

    You know what's interesting about this? It's feasible. The Fine-sized assassin would not only be stealthy and near-impossible to see, but it gets a +8 size bonus to AC in combats. Assuming the assassin was well-armored with magic items beforehand, armor classes for these Fine-sized foes can easily hit 30 or even 40.

    Let's see if I can't do this without delving into the Book of Erotic Fantasy. Surely, spells in there will make this more likely, but... bear with me.
    Also, this falls more into the "cursed item" category, but it could be considered a trap.
    ________
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    The item is actually a two-piece set - it's not just a dagger and sheath, but a piece of armor to match; more specifically, an ornate breastplate fitted specifically to the female form of a light metal like mithril (so that even characters that can't wear armor heavier than light can wear this). When the dagger is wielded and the breastplate worn, they function separately as a cursed +1 merciful vampiric dagger (drains an additional 1d4 damage and adds it to the wielder's HP, does only) and a cursed +1 glamered mithril breastplate.

    > TO BE CONTINUED...
    >> Anonymous 06/06/10(Sun)08:45 No.10313482
    >>10313469
    What the wearer doesn't know is that both the dagger's sheath and the breastplate's crotch have connected ring gates embedded in them, and that these ring gates are activated once the dagger's "vampiric" quality has activated - as well, the title of "vampiric" is in itself not entirely true; it actually stores the genetic material of the last foe it stabbed (this includes blood and, unknown to the wielder, semen) and when the dagger is then sheathed, it activates the ring gates and plunges the blade of the dagger into the woman's slit, thereby releasing the genetic material, seminal fluid and all, into her womb... but while the dagger is treated as "merciful", it deals nonlethal damage. In pain, the wielder unsheathes the dagger to inspect it, but finds nothing, and the ring gates then deactivate when the genetic material is out of the blade, serving as a standard dagger. The breastplate's purpose and its cursed and glamered properties are so that not only can the wearer wear comfortable clothes while having armored benefits, but that the breastplate cannot be removed prematurely to prevent the pregnancy. For as long as the wielder is pregnant, the dagger cannot take in any more genetic material, thereby preventing any injury to the unborn child in its mother's womb.

    In a desert temple, there's a deep and long pathway that leads merely to a trap - as the adventurers walk, a simple floor plate mechanism seals the room that they enter. After this, sand starts pouring into the hall from every conceivable place; cracks in the wall, the ceiling, even the statues' mouths. The sand was once a rock magically enchanted with the Rusting Grasp spell, and ground so fine that it became the very same sand filling the room and your armor, and the sand dissolves their armor into more rust-colored sand. Then, when the room cannot be filled anymore, a small whirlpool drains into the center of the room, taking the adventurers with it. Anyone who falls within the whirlpool is set under is pushed through a "node door" (as the spell of the same name) to the temple's front step.

    You are the Josef Mengele of traps, my good sir. You would induce San loss in even the hardiest of adventurers. But what about a trap such as: "For the next 1 day per caster level, every thought entering this target's mind has a cat in it somehow, and all feelings the target experiences gives them a sense of deja-vu related to any pet or stray cats they may have known".
    Basically, your mind is infested with cat.
    Is this sufficiently san-loss, or should I try harder?

    PORN WARNING
    >>10313869
    It kind of reminded me of an item I based off this picture.
    A symbiotic creature that serves as armor. It provides protection, enhances strength, and helps heal the wearer, while the wearer provides mobility and food.
    It is telepathic in nature and reads the wearers subconscious in order to fulfill their needs according to their instincts.
    This is fine when it attaches to an unintelligent creature, as it's instincts drive its actions as well.
    But an intelligent creatures actions are driven by their conscious mind, which means that in order for an intelligent wearer to control it, they must posses some form of telepathy.
    Without telepathy, all it has to go on to determine what the wearer wants, is their subconscious instincts.
    When the host feels thirsty or hungry it moves to provide access, when the host is injured it applies a healing solution, when the host feels threatened it locks up to provide better protection.
    Without telepathy it cannot be removed.
    >> COR !!q1pmTSXoGQa 06/06/10(Sun)09:46 No.10314306
    >>10314300

    It grows to fit the wearers body perfectly, filling every nook and cranny.
    It feeds of the wearers waste products; dead skin, sweat, urine, basically any dead organic matter.
    If it becomes hungry it will begin to stimulate the host in an attempt to force it to provide it with more food.
    When the host dies it consumes it then enters hibernation and waits for another host, if the next host is to small to support the entire armor, it will leave parts of itself behind for another host to find (this is how it reproduces).

    I never wrote up any stats for it though as it was only an item for the PCs to retrieve for a third party, and then find out how to remove it from said third party.

    You want a trap that not only inflicts san loss, but also causes target to lose grasp on any and all of the morals, virtues, and any thoughts/feelings/senses that connect them to reality?

    The trap polymorphs them into a Kender.

    Created by the god of balance this wicked dagger is cursed for both men and women. If by wemon as such this dagger automatically impregnates the user with the seed of whomever she kills, in chronocological order. Alternatively if already pregnant, the child's genetic code is rewritten with those of the user's victim. If not possible for the user to have the all the children of her victims in her lifespan (in single child pregnancies) she will begin to have 'litters.'
    If used my men the result is much the same except that the next child he sires will be of the blood of his victims in chronological order. Alternatively, if said man sires no children post killings with the dagger he will find that if he had ever sired a child at all that said child will be of the blood of his victims in chronological order.
    If said man does not and has not sired any children whatsoever, after a full year, they will gradually turn female and mother the children themselves.
    WHAT THE FUCK NOW.

    While that is something that would disturb some people, I don't know if it would qualify as something sufficiently worthy of SAN loss. "Sure, cats are everywhere; the chance that I saw a cat there is pretty common."

    What you want is something that embeds the image of ONE cat into their mind when they think of certain things. One specific cat; a black cat; a black cat with a scar on its eye; a black cat with a scar that you can almost feel its dagger-like stare on your skin. You want something that will start to drive that person paranoid - in the day, he'll start actively looking for the cat but never find it; in his dreams, the cat will appear in the only place he didn't look.

    Then one day, he does encounter the cat, that exact same cat - what does he do? Does he kill it, knowing it could be someone's pet? Does he ignore it, hope to never see it again? But no matter what, even if he can't see that cat ever again... he'll see those fiery yellow eyes staring at him every time he closes his eyes.

    >>10314505
    Simple. Considering that the dagger only imprints the genetic code of "the last person it killed" as per its specific instruction, you sire no offspring whatsoever.

    Well, most everything that isn't metal is capable if burning (cloth, wood, even leather). With that in mind, your best bet is probably a fireball trap to basically flash-fry all their nonmetal equipment after it's all been rusted away. It does specifically say that "[the fireball] sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in the area". Cloth, wood and leather all have low hardness and HP compared to, say, an iron suit of full plate, so the fireball trap should be enough to destroy any combustible item on their person. They're in for some damage, sure, but this trap has a 20-foot radius spread so even if they're not close together, they should all get caught in the blast. This, as I see it, is the way to go.

    Good fa/tg/entlemen, this thread has inspired a short campaign:

    A prime material kingdom has just achieved enough magical development to become a planar power, and is sending a large detachment to Sigil to finalize things. Unfortunately, one particular group of clueless bureaucrat lackeys manage to piss off the Lady of Pain, Herself, in Person, and are subsequently sent to a rather interesting maze.

    The party consists of mid-level experts and bureaucrats and other relatively combat-useless commoner classes. The dungeon consists of every trap in this thread, plus as many more as I can find and/or think of. The catch: the maze is filled with "checkpoints", and everytime someone gets killed by a trap they are spontaneously recreated at the last checkpoint they activated.

    The challenge? Navigate the maze, outsmarting the traps via lateral thinking and trial-and-error, probably using the mountains of their own corpses (which remain after they are reformed) that accumulate to solve problems along the way.

    The Lady of Pain is watching them, and has promised to reward them handsomely for the amusement if they make it to the end without going completely mad.

    It is a very, very long maze.

    Example: a certain unnecessarily nasty trap consists of a conveyor-belt style assembly, each portion of which is activated by pressure plates, that goes in the following order; flesh to stone, stone to mud, crushing ceiling to flatten the mud. Overkill! Once this is circumanvigated, a passage opens up that leads from one side of it to the other.

    On the other side is a very high spiked wall.

    Possible solution for the wall; jam the smashing mechanism with corpses, shape the mud into blocks, and send the blocks back through the other way to create bricks made of flesh, which can then be stacked to clamber over the wall.

    Set up one cardboard box and make it lean on a fork-shaped piece of wood, which you stick upright into the ground. Attach a piece of string to the wood, and hide in a nearby brush with the other end of the string in hand. Make sure to place some tasty bait underneath the box to lure your prey to the right spot. To catch the it, just pull at the string, making the fork-shaped twig fall away, causing the box to drop on your unsuspecting victim.
    Now you too can catch a Terrasque!
    Protip: use a cow for bait and make sure your cardboard box is the right size!
