Disagree unless the traps are minor to average only and are of nightriser flavor such as negative and tangle traps. Even then they should cost a decent number of egg credits.

Drakill Tannan

Take into account regular PCs can do scalemount or other quests to gather traps before level 7. Risers don't have such quests. They have no way to accesing them.

Minor to average, no complains. But i'd like to see regular spike traps in aidition to negative, not sure how tangle traps fit thoguh.

BrittanyPanthas

They fit as you're trying to prevent escape of the pcs and are allowed only one damage trap and one disabling trap at a time. Out of the available options for disablers a tangle trap is fitting enough. Also there are other means by which nightriser pcs can find traps outside of quests if one is determined.

what like waiting for people to finish scalemount at night and stomping them, draining them and stealing their traps? i think its a reasonable suggestion perhaps even having traps set up in random places in their caverns that can be disabled/retrieved would work as well

BrittanyPanthas

There are traps in random places for you to collect already available.

Traps are a powerful tool and I'd prefer that they weren't sold typically. Having some minor negative energy and tangle traps for PC Nightrisers wouldn't be bad I suppose.

I'm not 100% certain on the full functionality of Nightrisers but I don't see why you couldn't go stomp the scalemount yourselves at night to supply yourselves further (and take a break from the silly egg farming). If that's not allowed then your other option works too, stealing them from PCs that have them already.

Drakill Tannan

Haven't found them. I'll look harder, but i see no reason why he shouldn't sell traps.

We're not FDing anyone anyway, what's the big deal?

VanillaPudding

Traps are always on full damage by the way.

TheImpossibleDream

Nightrisers can do any quest that doesn't have an npc quest giver! Though it makes little sense in some cases.

Nightrisers really don't need anymore perks they're overwhelmingly powerful for an ecl +2 race except vs two rarely played class of pc and even then are pretty frightening!

Drakill Tannan

Traps are extremly lame anyway, more since you can use 1 or 2 in PvP max. I don't see what the big deal is.

I don't see what the big deal is with just getting traps another way

Drakill Tannan

Style. Mechanical-wise i see little benefits in this, but i am playing one that specilises in hunts and ambushes, traps, as little as they do form what i've seen, give the feeling of an ambush.

BrittanyPanthas

Traps can be absolutely devastating if you manage to find the right ones. They just take a great deal of effort to locate. Even minor traps can turn the tide if you pick the right trap for the right pc.

So hunt down some traps and use them instead of just having them hand fed to you by the merchant? Cry more
