Trapsmith is a Craft Skill that represents a character's familiarity and experience with different types of traps. Trapsmiths can create, enable, disable, remove and repair traps. Trapsmith Lore allows a character to identify the maker of a particular trap, determine the type of trap and how it may best be disabled, and analyze an new or unfamiliar trap in able to duplicate it.

Common Uses of the Trapsmith Skill
  • Use Disarm Trap ability to disable or remove traps.
  • Create traps
  • Enable traps that have previously been disabled.
  • Repair traps
  • Identify the work of a particular trap maker
  • Determine the type of trap and the best ways to disable it.

All traps have a DC based on the Trap's Rank. Whenever a Trapsmith check is made regarding a particular trap, the base DC for the check is based on the DC of the trap, modified by what the Trapsmith would like to do.
