Traps

[bigtony]

What have been some your best traps you have sprung or placed in a roll playing game?

I placed a jinni bottle with a label that was damaged and you wer're only able to see a couple of letters O--- --T and the bottle was red in color.
when the player opened it he and all in a 10'Rad. we're covered with open pit bar-que sauce and it cooked them for some hit point damage. it was a good laugh to the group too.

I don't normally deal in traps when I run a game. But that is a funny trap. Hmm...now I'll have to cook one up to post.

I tend to stick with traditional traps, and use things like you describe as a puzzle. The difference being that traps generally try to kill/maim/disable and puzzles tend to be the key to something else.
