Teleporter Crystal
This trap is activated when a creature touches its surface, which teleports the creature to a new location. There's a crystal pulsating with magic.
Effect: Targets any creature that touches it, DC 10 WIS save or be teleported to another location
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.
Steam Trap
A phrase etched on a wall is enchanted to trigger when read aloud, which makes scalding hot steam fill the area via vents in the floor. The floor is perforated or mesh.
Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, scalding hot steam fills the area. Any target that starts or moves through the area takes 10 (1d10) fire damage per turn.
Trigger: forbidden phrase, activates when etched runes are read aloud.
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 phrase. A successful dispel magic (DC 10) cast on the phrase destroys the trap. A strong gust of wind (at least 10mph) will disperse the steam.
Destroying Traps
Traps can be damaged and destroyed, sometimes to good or bad effect. Pipes containing fire or poison will rupture and spray over the area, while mechanisms can be rendered inoperable with enough force. Determine the HP and AC of your traps based on the tables below. Sometimes a fragile trap is more dangerous than a resilient one if destroying it will fill the corridor with acid.

| Wood, bone | 15 |
| Stone | 17 |
