Rebound-Spear Trap (1992 Card Set)

The rebound-spear trap is particularly lethal. It consists of a spike-lined wall, often in shadows or otherwise out of sight, with several spring-loaded, barbed spears mounted into it. The tail ends of the spears are attached to a rope-and-pulley system. When a victim trips one of a series of wires next to the trap, the spears are fired into the trap area, piercing anyone there who fails a Dex check with a +3 penalty, for 1d8 points of damage. The pulley system is also activated and the spears are swiftly drawn back into the wall. Any victim hit by a spear will be drawn in and impaled upon the waiting spikes. Roll td8 to determine how many spikes the victim catches (1d6 damage per spike).
