Another round 4 question...

[Matthew Morris]

The Traps line.

Should any traps in this line be listed on a simple line? For example:
Traps: 1000lb anvil

or should it follow the format given in modules.

Traps:
1000lb Anvil CR 1 toon
XP 65
Type mechanical; Perception 20; Disable Device DC 20
Trigger standing on the X painted on the floor; Reset manual
Effect 1000 lb anvil falls on character's head (10d6 bludgeoning damage); DC 20 Reflex avoids; one target.

I'd rather see your words spent on describing the Location and Encounter than getting all the words in for the standard trap format, so go ahead and list them simply as you described in your post. If the trap isn't self evident or requires explanation as to how the creature there may interact with it, provide text for that--I can figure out what a pit trap is or an arrow trap, but a "burning liquid metal shard" trap probably needs a few words to make sense.

Thanks Sean.
