Why is it that all of the enemy characters can walk over traps without slowing down yet my party gets stopped at the first trap square? It's just not fair I tells you :-) ... they should either stop before the trap, trigger it, or at least lose ap while moving over trap squares.

slayernz - generally, it's assumed the enemies set the trap or know about it.

Yeah, but surely they must move slower over the trapped areas because they don't wanna trip the trap  |

That's a question that most of D&D players and GM are arguing about for as long as traps exists in RPGS dungeon. A good question that a player asked me someday was : "ok, so monsters know about traps, they are well aware of their location and functioning. So, this trap set in the middle of a corridor that my character has just sprung and get killed by it, how do they live in this dungeon since they can't pass through this corridor ?"
I recognize that traps are part of the fun of playing into a dungeon (or a cave for HoS) but feeling that it's just meant to harm the player is a bit painful.

In my mind, most monsters know that the trap is there, and maybe have even been trained on what to look for. As such, in an area that they know a trap exists, they are going to move with caution and not just barrel through at breakneck speed.

slayernz - technically, because of the way traps are built, this would be really hard to do. I will talk about it with Cory.
