Set Trap (5/Day). The kobold can discretely place a mechanical trap
of its choice (see below) on a surface (such as a section of floor, a
wall, a staircase, or a table) or within an object that can be closed to
conceal the trap (such as a chest, door, or window) within 5 feet of it.
If it is a surface, the trap can cover an area of the surface no larger
than 10 feet in diameter.
The trap is hidden, requiring a DC 13 Intelligence (Investigation) to
find it or a DC 13 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot it.
For traps placed on a surface, the trap is triggered when a surface
within the area is touched or stepped on, removing another object
covering it, or manipulating an object that holds it. For traps within
an object, the trap is triggered when the object is opened
or manipulated.
When the kobold lays a trap, it chooses from one of the
following options below for its effect. Once triggered, each
creature within 10 feet of the trap is targeted by its effect, unless
specified otherwise.
