TRAPS

There are various traps in the world of Carbon 2185. Traps are an essential part of security in megacorpora-
tion facilities and criminal safe houses and pose a major threat to cyberpunks who must frequently navigate
through them as part of certain jobs.

Traps can be either Simple or Advanced. Simple traps are set up with basic tools, and despite their lethal-
ity are easily constructed and taken apart.

Advanced traps are made from much more complex systems, usually including facial recognition software,
laser trips, complex mechanics, and even AI to produce their lethal results. While these are much harder
to detect and disable than the simple traps, the complexity and advanced technology of these traps makes
them much rarer.

TRIGGERING A TRAP

Each trap has different triggers. When determining a trap’s trigger, consider whether the system is simple
or advanced. Advanced traps are often part of the full technical infrastructure of a building. These systems
operate through a central computer hub, managed by AI and any array of supporting tech that acts as the
eyes, ears, voice, and weaponry of a wholistic monitoring process. Simple traps operate on basic mechanics,
including trip wires, pressure plates, and other physics-based triggers requiring some kinetic force.

DETECTING TRAPS

To discover a hidden trap takes some measure of observational skills. Most traps have a visible element that
can be detected by the cyberpunks through the use of an Intelligence (Perception) check on the area to
find such clues as a faint tripwire, small camera, or an exposed wire near a pool of water.

If a character wishes to spend time examining an area to determine if it is trapped, they may instead make
an Intelligence (Investigation) check. This check is usually more difficult but will provide more insight into
deactivating any traps.

DEACTIVATING TRAPS

Dealing with traps requires a variety of methods which vary from trap to trap.
The most common methods are Disarming Kits for simpler traps and Hacking or Mechanics skills for more

advanced traps. Successful checks allow the option to disarm the trap or prevent the trigger from activat-
ing. Have the character detail how they are dealing with the trap and ask for an appropriate skill check.

TRAP EFFECTS

Traps vary in their level of effectiveness. Some traps are Minor inconveniences designed to slow an oncom-
ing threat or dissuade a group from continuing. Some traps are more of a Major threat, with the potential
to incapacitate anyone who activates them. Finally, some traps are Lethal. These traps are specifically
designed to kill those who would intrude on an area. Lethal traps are the rarest due to the difficulty and
expense of setting them up.

TRAPS AND INITIATIVE

Some traps perform a basic action once and then expire, while other, more complicated traps act multiple
times before expiring. Complex traps activate and then perform an action as listed in the trap’s description.
When a trap performs the first action the trap and everyone in the area rolls Initiative. The trap roll includes
its listed Initiative modifier.

SAMPLE TRAPS

Following is a series of sample traps designed for use in your adventures. Other types of traps are possible,
and the GM is encouraged to create their own using the samples for inspiration.

ACID BATH TRAP
SIMPLE TRAP
This trap is an easily designed if quite effective trap. The trap works by rigging a plastic bucket full of acid
to a tripwire causing it to fall on whoever triggers the wire. The tripwire is usually supported a few inches
above the ground and to spot the wire requires a DC10 Intelligence (Perception) check. Disabling the trap
requires cutting the tripwire and carefully removing the bucket. This requires a DC13 Dexterity (Disarming
Kit) check. On a failed check the trap triggers.

The trap bathes whoever triggers the trap in acid. The target must make a DC13 Reflex save or take
7(2d6) acid damage on a failed save and half as much damage on a successful save.

ACTIVE PIT TRAP
SIMPLE TRAP
This simple trap is common in older buildings, and in areas where the ground can be masked to appear solid
when it is not. The trap works by applying too much weight to a seam or hole in the surface of a walking
path. The opening is generally well-hidden, requiring a DC14 Intelligence (Investigation) check to reveal the
trap and calculate the weight trigger. Disabling the trap requires a DC13 Dexterity (Disarming Kit) check
to successfully pin the floor into place long enough to allow crossing if the trap cannot be bypassed.

The trap causes the anyone stepping onto it to fall (see falling damage).

AUDIOLOGICAL DISSUASION SYSTEM
ADVANCED TRAP

This complex system is designed to release a high-frequency pitch that interferes with neurolinks, causing
neurological damage to the body. The sound-emitting device is usually well hidden or recessed into the walls
and/or ceiling. Locating the source of the noise requires a DC14 intelligence (Investigation). The trap trig-
gers when an unidentified group or individual comes within range of the facial recognition software.

212 Carbon 2185 | A Cyberpunk RPG

炭素 2185 | サイバーパンクロールプレイングゲーム

Once triggered, the ADS rolls initiative at +2 and at the start of each of its turns emits a disruptive sound.
Everyone with a neurolink within 30ft of the noisemaker must make a DC12 Fortitude saving throw or take
7(2d6) Psychic damage on a failed saving throw or half as much on a successful saving throw. The ADS has
20 hit points, an armor class of 13, DR/2 Ballistic, and is immune to poison, psychic, and radiation damage.
Disabling the trap requires either a DC14 Intelligence (Hacking) check to access the software operating the
trap, or a DC13 Dexterity (Mechanics) check to ccess and dismantle the wall-mounted emitter.

GAS BASED NEUROTOXIN DEPLOYMENT
ADVANCED TRAP

This gas canister trap deploys a gas designed to incapacitate or kill intruders. The trap is often identified by
small air holes next to a closed ventilation grate. Identifying the trap requires a DC13 Intelligence (Percep-
tion) check. When activated, the system locks the doors and releases gas into a sealed chamber. Deactivi-
ating the trap requires a DC14 Intelligence (Hacking) check (with computer equipment) to disengage a
sealed door, or a DC17 Strength (Athletics) check to open another means of ventilation. The characters
can also attempt to plug the holes where the gas is entering the room. Doing so is an action, and for each
plugged hole the damage is reduced by 1d6. There are four such holes.

Each creature in the room must make a DC13 Fortitude saving throw or take 4d6 poison damage or half
as much on a successful save. The trap deals damage for 2d6 rounds. At the end of the cycle the system
shuts off the gas and ventilates the chamber.

If you are starting a campaign at a level other than 1st, you should generate your starting wealth via the
backgrounds section as usual, and then consult the Additional Wealth table below to determine how much
extra you start with.

SELLING LOOT

Anyone can sell anything worth 10 000₩ or less to pretty much anyone else. Selling higher value items
than that requires certain influence levels (See Influence).
When recovering armor, cybernetics, weapons, and clothing from slain enemies, the items are assumed to
be poorly maintained, or damaged by whatever caused the death of the enemy.
Items looted from enemies can only be sold for 1/4 of their listed value in the equipment, and weapons and
armor tables.

Cybernetics looted from corpses are worthless unless stated otherwise by the GM.
Biolockable weapons looted from enemies are always assumed to be biolocked to the user.
To calculate the selling price of these, subtract 100 000₩ from the base price, and divide the remainer by
4.

Human life is cheap, and by extension so are organs. If somebody were to loot all the organs looted from
relatively healthy corpses, each complete set of organs would be worth around 10 000₩ on the black mar-
ket. Harvesting a corpse for organs requires a successful (Technology) Medicine check of 17 or higher.

RANDOM LOOT

If you’re creating your own adventure, or the adventure you are playing doesn’t have loot guidelines, you
can use the relevant table for the creature’s challenge rating (CR), to determine how much wealth individu-
al enemies may be carrying on them.

This amount is presented in wonlongs, but this is only a representative value. For example, while a street
thug may be carrying 10 000₩ in credit chips, a mech is unlikely to carry 10 000₩ in real currency. In-
stead the mech may have 10 000₩ of salvageable components that the party can sell.
