Description and use¶
Adventuring Gear Weight: 25 lb.
Cost: 5 GP As a Utilize action, you can set a Hunting Trap, which is a sawtooth steel ring that snaps shut when a creature steps on a pressure plate in the center.
The trap is affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile object, such as a tree or a spike driven into the ground.
A creature that steps on the plate must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 Piercing damage and have its Speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn.
Thereafter, until the creature breaks free of the trap, its movement is limited by the length of the chain (typically 3 feet).
A creature can use its action to make a DC 13 Strength (Athletics) check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success.
Each failed check deals 1 Piercing damage to the trapped creature.
