Trap

Traps can be set to deal creatures exactly 30 physical damage, but they do not stop the creatures from moving. The damage works similarly to a distance attack: it is reduced by armor, but not by shielding. You can find this item around dwarven camp in Tiquanda. Put it on the ground and use it to open a Closed Trap. If you move an open trap it will close again. Note that usage of a trap to damage a creature will yield less experience, and completely killing a creature using traps will not yield experience, Dust, Weapon Proficiency and bestiary or bosstiary progress. If you want to sell or buy a Trap from NPCs, it has to be as a Closed Trap.

Before the skull system was implemented this was used to kill players in an anonymous way. The character page would only state: "Killed at level XX by a hit."

Before the introduction of Bestiary, this item was used to estimate creature's armor value, since it deals a consistent amount of shield-irreducible damage.
