Dispel trap

[Silas North]

I've always wondered if there was any way to make something like this. It would create a whole new useful, and interesting, strategy for stealthy types like rogues and rangers.

Granted, traps can already be pretty deadly, but I just had to ask.

Personally, since you have to go through the difficulty of making it and getting someone to step on it (traps can be hard to disarm but even powerful ones are not THAT difficult to see), I think the dispel DC should be seriously high, allow for no save, and even avoid being subject to spell resistance.

Traps are very under utilized on the server IMO, I'd love to see more of them.

For the record, only rogues get to disarm traps over DC 20, if I'm not mistaken.

Good idea nonetheless. When casters suddenly can't solo anymore due to constant buff loss, that'd even the playing field some.

I'm surprised they are underused. Even when they removed the ability to put more than one atop each other, it was scary what some people could do with traps.

Logan and Fenton in particular.

Still, I'd like to see something like this and NOT just because I'm thinking of making a rogue myself lol

Only problems i have with traps is the auto reset function that some set traps seem to have and traps that don't allow saves.... traps either need an attack roll or a save. auto damage or spell effect should not exist.

It already does though. There are several spells that allow for no save at all.

This has been on the todo list since the Necropolis first opened.

Of course it is the thieves and fighters who lead the party most of the time who can only survive with the buffs provided by the casters that will be striped of their buffs most often.

If magic traps exist thieves should not be allowed to remove them, casters should. Casters should also be allowed to cast the spells that create and remove them.

I disagree. I like the idea of the traps being complicated devices that only the rogues can disarm. It only further enchances their use. Also, traps have always been a rogue-ish kind of thing (counting Ranger as 'rogue-ish') Imo they should remain a rogue-ish thing even with these new traps. Casters have enough goodies already.

Not that a caster is not without options of course. Summon Monster I is an excellent way to disarm traps... in another sense.

I think this idea is pretty good. Traps being used more often would enhance combat aspects that have been previously overshadowed by spellcasters and their buffs, and would provide even more options for the rogue to fight them on equal terms in PvP. In fact, the idea of setting wards and prepared traps in particular has always fascinated me within the context of NWN2.

I'm not well versed in all prestige classes, but I think a trapmaster/ warder class that specializes in magical and physical wards would be interesting. Of course, you could just make an arcane trickster that has abjuration as a specialty or somesuch. But anyway! I agree, magical traps sound like fun.

Arcane Tricksters....gotta love 'em
