Traps

These finely-crafted metal traps can be set up in a matter of minutes. Two general types are available; both come in small (rabbit), medium (wolf), and large (bear) varieties. A character using either type of trap adds a +1 bonus to his set snares proficiency checks.

• Enclosing Trap: This type of trap resembles a box. It catches animals alive. Lured by edible bait or a shiny object, the animal enters the box and steps on a trigger which causes the front of the box to snap shut.
• Killing Trap: A killing traps has two metal jaws lined with sharp points. A small platform, which holds a lure, rests in between the jaws. The slightest pressure on the platform causes the jaws to snap shut, killing the animal.
