Calpurnia's Guide to Practical Traps

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Over 40 new traps and triggers for adventurers to encounter and even build themselves.

Calpurnia's treatise on traps is a must-have for practical adventurers. Rather than detailing impossibly complex clockwork or magical contraptions, Calpurnia describes simple traps that adventurers are likely to encounter -- or even construct themselves.

  • 5e Compatible. Builds upon the trap rules found in the Dungeon Master's Guide, and is compatible with trap rules from Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
  • Trap Types. Features primitive traps, mechanical traps, alchemical traps and magic traps.
  • Crafting Rules. Most traps have rules for crafting; including material, skill check, and time requirements. Give your players something to do with those tool proficiencies.
  • Variants. Most traps include variants: ways to change the trap to be more powerful or just different.
  • Practical Focus. An emphasis on traps made from items adventurers tend to collect, including acid flasks, alchemist's fire, caltrops, holy water, spell scrolls and wands.
  • Illusion Traps. A special chapter on turning illusionist favourites major image and programmed illusion into deadly traps.
  • Background. Calpurnia offers insight into many of the traps, discussing creative ways they can be used.
  • Bookmarks. The PDF makes full use of bookmark features, with every item linked. Also, the Table of Contents is click-able.
  • Illustrated. Art by Togohorn.

Includes the adventure: The Spectre of Sanguine Isle.

Want to put your new traps to use? Introduce your players to The Spectre of Sanguine Isle, an adventure that can scale to suit parties of levels 1 to 5.

The isolated town of Cupidinum has been shaken by a senseless murder. The culprit has fled to Sanguine Isle, and it's up to the heroes to find him and bring him to justice. But the fugitive doesn't want to be caught, and he knows a thing or two about guerilla warfare. Can the heroes catch their elusive prey? And was his crime quite as straight-forward as it was made out to be?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
