 ===== Setting Traps =====
-A rogue may set a mechanical trap, such as a snare, bear trap, etc.  A standard trap has four corners.  One corner must be labeled "0" and one corner must be labeled "∞", meaning that there is a 25% chance that any character can disarm the trap, and a 25% chance that it goes off no matter what.  The other two corners are the rogue's level and (the rogue's level − 1).  Thus, the higher the level of the rogue who created the trap, the harder it is to disarm.

 Magical traps need to be created with both a rogue and a spellcaster.  The spellcaster casts the spell into the trap, and the spell goes off when the trap is triggered.  Any spell that a spellcaster can cast may be cast into a trap.  (Yes, this means that, for example, a trap could cast a healing spell when it goes off.)  A spell that would affect one person affects the closest person within the trap's AoE (one fall radius).  An AoE spell affects all characters within the AoE of the //spell// (not the trap).
