Wind Trap
Targets all creatures within a 20 ft. cone, huge fans begin to spin and blow a strong gust of air, pushing any targets prone and straight out of the area, possibly into other hazards.
Trigger: button, a button labeled 'Do Not Press' (or similar) activates the trap when pushed.
Countermeasures: A successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disarms the trap, removing the trigger from the button and allowing it to be pressed as many times as you want. Unsuccessfully attempting to modify the button triggers the trap. Alternatively a creature may be able to build up the incredible willpower necessary to resist the temptation to push it.
Poison Needle
This trap is activated when a creature touches its surface, which causes the needle to spring out, delivering a dose of poison.
Effect: Targets any creature that touches it, Placed in lock or opening mechanism, dealing 5 (2d10) poison damage and DC 10 CON save or be poisoned for 1 hour.
Trigger: touch trigger, activates when surface is touched by a creature.
Countermeasures: A spell or other effect that can sense the presence of magic, such as detect magic, reveals an aura of divination magic around the surface. A successful dispel magic (DC 10) cast on the surface destroys the trap.
Destroying the mechanism will prevent the trap from triggering but also render the object unopenable.Destroying Traps
