Snare kits


Skills, Feats, Equipment & Spells


The crafting skill section in the play test rule book says you must have the appropriate tools or kit to craft items.
The snare kit weighs 8 bulk. This to me seems off, my ranger with 16 strength can only carry 8 bulk worth of stuff and snares need to be crafted in the field. So if I need to carry that kit with me I can't carry anything else.

Snares seem bad as is, but this makes them unusable. Can anyone confirm if snares actually require a snare kit?


Wow, that does look like a problem.
8 bulk is a lot of bulk! What's in that kit, a whole log?


Also!
You can NOT prebuild snares. you must build them in the square they're meant to be.

so you can't just prebuild all the parts for any given snare...

which is really problematic.


And this is the thing.
They're not even super powerful. They're mostly flavored.

You have to preemptively take time to set them up with he hope a monster MIGHT step on it. And meanwhile your Wizard is shooting fireballs they will get back after sleeping
