Boots of Sticking and Snaring
Mechanical trap (Simple trap, level 11-16, dangerous)
Description. There is a finely made pair of boots with magical aura cast on them, making them appear to be Boots of Striding and Springing.
Slime D 26d 5e Background
Trigger. There are small pressure plates in the heels of the boots. When someone puts the boots on and walks in them, the trap is triggered.

Effect. When triggered, sovereign glue oozes from the soles of the boots, on both the inside and the outside. It adheres fast to the PC’s foot and the floor, rooting them in place. The sovereign glue used in this trap sets in six seconds instead of one minute. (Once the glue has been used, it’s gone.) When triggered, the character feels something wet inside the boot and the boots seem to stick a little to the ground. If the character tries to remove the boots immediately, they must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw in order to do so before the glue sets.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals that the soles of the boots are abnormally thick. Upon examining the thick soles, a successful DC 18 Intelligence (Investigation) check reveals the presence of a hidden compartment in the soles and how to open it. Inside the compartment on each boot is a bottle of sovereign glue for the taking, as long as the trap isn’t triggered first, which deploys the glue.
Mace-in-a-Box
Mechanical trap (Simple, level 1-4, dangerous)
Description. A non-descript chest with no visible lock.
Trigger. Opening the lid triggers the trap.
Effect. When triggered, a spring-loaded mace inside the lid swipes in an arc at anyone standing in front of the chest. The mace has an attack bonus of +5 and on hit deals 4 (1d8) bludgeoning damage and the target must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 7 (2d6) poison damage and is poisoned for one minute. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and is not poisoned.
Countermeasures. Opening the chest from the side or at range (such as with a ten-foot pole) bypasses the swinging mace. A successful DC 12 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals the presence of buckling wood on the backside of the lid as though something inside were pulling on the wood. A successful DC 13 Dexterity (Thieves’ Tools) check can disarm the trap.
Helm of the Catfolk
Magical trap (Simple trap, level 5-10, setback)
Description. There is a finely made helmet shaped like the head of a jaguar with eyes of emerald on a pedestal worth roughly 200 gp.
Trigger. Removing the helmet from the pedestal trips a pressure plate which triggers the trap.
Effect. The character who moved the helmet is targeted by a polymorph spell. The character must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the character is polymorphed into a tiny cat for 1d4 hours. If as a cat the character is reduced to 0 hit points, they just turn into a different breed of cat. This can happen up to nine times, and on the tenth time of being reduced to 0 hit points, the character reverts to their normal self. Otherwise, this condition lasts until the spell ends or dispel magic is cast on the character.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals the presence of the pressure plate on the pedestal. The pressure plate can be neutralized and the helmet removed if a character quickly swaps an item of equal weight with the helmet, placing that item on the pressure plate. The character must make a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check to determine the weight of the helmet (twelve pounds). Then the character must make a successful DC 13 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to swap the helmet with the item without tripping the pressure plate. If either of these checks fail, the trap is triggered.
Slime D 26d 5e Stats
Stairway to Slime
Mechanical trap (Simple trap, level 5-10, dangerous)
Description. There is a ladder that must be climbed to get to the next level up.
Trigger. The sixth rung on the ladder pulls loose when climbed on and triggers the trap.
Effect. Triggering the trap causes a trap door in the floor to slide open, revealing a ten-foot-deep pit whose floor and walls are covered with green slime (see the dungeon master’s core rulebook). The character who pulled the rung loose on the ladder must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or fall into the pit. The character takes 1d6 falling damage and is covered with green slime, taking 5 (1d10 acid damage). The creature takes the damage again at the start of each of its turns until the slime is scraped off or destroyed. Against wood or metal, green slime deals 11 (2d10) acid damage each round, and any nonmagical wood or metal weapon or tool used to scrape off the slime is effectively destroyed.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals that one of the ladder rungs is loose.
The Boy Who Cried Cat
Magical trap (Simple trap, level 5-10, dangerous)
Description. There is an illusory small boy in the corner clutching two dolls to his chest and sobbing.
Trigger. Approaching within five feet of the illusion triggers the trap.
Effect. When triggered, all creatures within twenty feet of the illusory boy must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save the creature’s size category is reduced to tiny; however, none of their equipment is shrunk with them. Creatures so reduced have disadvantage on strength checks and saving throws; their movement is reduced to one third; and they deal only 1 point of damage with any attacks. This condition lasts for 1d4 minutes.
Furthermore, triggering the trap opens a secret door that releases 2d4 hungry cats into the room that immediately attack any shrunk creatures.
Countermeasures. Examining the boy and succeeding on a DC 14 Intelligence (Investigation) check reveals the illusion for what it is. Casting detect magic reveals the presence of the magical trap linked to the illusory boy. A successful DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check reveals the nature of the trap. Casting dispel magic on the illusory boy suppresses the magical trap for ten minutes.
