Inside are over 250 pre-built traps organized by character level and lethality, so you can always find the right challenge, from a minor setback in a starter crypt to a deadly snare in an endgame vault. The random trap generator pairs 50 trap triggers with 50 trap effects for up to 2,500 combinations when you want something your players have never seen.
The book also covers the craft itself: guidance on using traps, puzzles, and riddles in your games, so they create tension and choices rather than just damage.
Why the Hardcover
This is the edition built for the table: flip to the right level chapter during prep, keep it open behind the screen during play, and hand it across when a player wants to study what just hit them.

This is just one more super-useful book from Nord Games. As soon as I got it, I started using the fun traps, tricks and puzzles with my D&D group. I’ll probably buy all the Bord Games titles soon!
Very descriptive and well organized. Its organized by level and there are so many.
awesome product, very helpful for my home games!
Cool traps for D&D. High quality book.
This book gives a GM everything they need to more effectively integrate traps into games. The 2014 DMG devotes 4 pages to traps; Treacherous Traps blessed me with 40 times as much. It is filled with pre-made traps ready to drop-in (and sorted by CR category, no less!), guidance on how to effectively use traps in gameplay, create your own, and suggestions for what types of traps to use for different types of dungeon spaces.
If you are the sort of person who finds a title like Treacherous Traps intriguing, you will not be disappointed in what it delivers.
