Trap-Making

Trap-Making is a crafting skill. Characters who have learned this skill can construct traps or lures from common components, so long as they also possess a plan to build the mechanism. The second and fourth rank of this skill also increase the range at which the character can detect enemy traps. Note that while all characters who have learned this skill can set traps, only rogues can disarm them.

Traps and Lures have been divided into two main sections. The first section deals with Traps and Lures whose primary function is to impede the movement of the enemy. The second section deals with Traps whose primary function is to damage the enemy.
