As I said I would, more ideas. One other thing, and I should've mentioned it before: traps should not be "100% effective", at least not all of them. In other words, walking on a place where a trap is set might (or might not) activate it. Also, every action taken on place where a trap is set is another chance to step on it. Some traps, however, are granted to work under a certain condition, like the one I suggested that is set on a door knob: a human climbing a Heavily Barricaded place or moving from another building with the Rooftop skill won't need to open the door; however any undead (or unskilled human) would ultimately be zapped.
Finding a trap should work akin to finding a hiding person. If you wander too far or for too long you might "forget" the trap you previously found. Once found, however, you wont activate the trap.
Pendulum (1 Length of Chain, 1 Weight. the kind one would find in sport shops would do. alternatively, that sculpture thingie we find at museums also works) can only be set indoors. when it is activated, this trap swings and hits with enough force that it might even knock the enemy to the outside of the place. there is a very slight chance that, when set on a building, it might be on a floor high enough to deal extra damage or even kill from the fall.
Hammok deals no damage, but ensnares the enemy in place and requires a few amount of AP to get rid of it.
Spray Coat (4 spray paints) deals no damage, but the target gets covered by colorful sprays and cannot hide/hafter hang for quite a long time (after a LOT of AP is spent). also it looks ridiculous and everyone will point & laugh at his face.
Skull Bolas (3 skulls, 1 length of chain) ensnares target in place and terrorizes it.
Chill Spray (2 fire extinguishers) chills the enemy.
Electro Trip (2 car battery, 1 wire) when someone trips on it, will be zapped, receiving damage and dazed.
Shrapnel (4 shotgun ammo, 1 pipe, 1 nail box) when it explodes, deals damage to whoever activated it, and the nails may hit everyone in the same area, dealing some damage and causing bleed.
Flamethrower (1 gas can, 1 spray paint, 1 lighter) torches the enemy, causes damage and sets on fire.
Now if you excuse me I'll dust off my old copies of Kagero and Deception. (ok, I'll download roms for my emulator)
