What is a Trap

What constitutes a Trap? Can a magic circle trap still be disabled by a Thief (i.e. step into the circle and your are trapped in it)? The moves says he can theoretically, but do you need other tools in the fiction too? Does a Thief has to know enough about magic to disable it? 

If i use a lot of magical traps in my game, do i make the Thief more magical because of it? 

Does the Thief have the “right” to try to find every kind of trap and disable it? 

Trap Expert

When you spend a moment to survey a dangerous area, roll+DEX. ✴On a 10+, hold 3. ✴On a 7–9, hold 1. Spend your hold as you walk through the area to ask these questions:

Is there a trap here and if so, what activates it?

What does the trap do when activated?

What else is hidden here?

Tricks of the Trade

When you pick locks or pockets or disable traps, roll+DEX. ✴On a 10+, you do it, no problem. ✴On a 7–9, you still do it, but the GM will offer you two options between suspicion, danger, or cost.

Silver Gauntlet

There was an old dwarfen hero. A Thief really. He decided to woe a dwarfen girl and as it was tradition the dwarf that brought the biggest treasure would win her heart. Together with his human friend he went out and had many adventures. So rich was he, that he created a whole magical armor of gleaming silver to prepare for robbing the hoard of the biggest and strongest of the elemental dragons. This Gauntlet here looks a lot like this design.

The wearer of this Gauntlet can open any lock with ease and the simplest of tools. Just get the Gauntlet in proximity to it and it will go to work. However, it has a mind of it’s own and shouldn’t be close to valuables. It will reach for them and palm or pocket them without it’s wearer knowing about it. When the Guards catch them later, they will loose the Gauntlet AND the hand. 

What happened to dwarfen thief you ask? Well, that is another story. 

The Sound rod

This metal rod is maybe as long as your hand and made from a silvery material. When you push its one and only button the light at the top starts to glow and the rod emits a buzzing noise. Depending on the model the light might be blue or green. Just point the rod at the thing you want to manipulate, think what it should do and press the button. After having scanned an energy source or magical effect you can read out it’s potence and strengh by extending the rod. 

For unknown purposes the rod might not work on wood and can only be used an arbitrary number of times.   

At the beginning of the session, roll+INT

On a 10+ hold 3, on a 7-9 hold 2. 

You can spend your hold 1 for 1 to make the rod do something. Reading energy outputs does not require an expenditure of hold.

The Nominate Repeater

Said to be the favoured weapons of the Crimson highwaymen, although where they acquired them is unknown. The weapon requires neither powder nor shot; but in place of a flintlock apparatus is space to slot a single coin (of most denominations.) 

The pistol will not fire unless a ‘donation’ has been made recently. It’s been observed that coins of lower value will provide no more than half a dozen shots; when a jade doubloon (a high value coin from the Xi empire) was donated, the gun continued to fire for over 5 months.

The paper gloves 

“These gloves are made of paper. Well not actuall paper, that wouldn’t work. Still – they look like paper, they smell and sound like paper… They are destroyed when they get wet. Still, i checked. I asked an alchemist. It’s not paper. 

All the couriers of the Zsars postal brigade where them when they swoop around on their hippogriffs… 

Now boy, listen to me because this is important. Never trust these couriers cause you see: These gloves are magical. And not made out of paper. 

I saw one of these bastards handle a letter with these. When you just hold the letter for quite some time, the words apear on the paper of the glove! You can read any messeage this way without ever having to open the seal! When i saw that i took my club and beat this courier over the head. Pretty useful such a glove. Later i found out that they also translate! It showed an elvish letter to me but i could read it! 

Just remember one thing. 

They.Are.Not.Made.Of.Paper!”

(For those who don’t know, the City Thief is a Thief variant class which is about 30% custom content and 70% the core Thief. It’s meant to be a poison-less Thief variant, and one that’s slightly more urban. Also, it’s totally a ripoff of Garrett from the Thief series.)

The Whispering Cloak 

A paranoid Lordqueen of the Golden Plains wished to know everything that happened, be it in her kingdom or her court. She payed 5 astromagicians their weight in gold and diamonds to create this cloak for her. While she was wearing this deep blue cape and hood with the embedded silver stars she could hear every whisper as loud as if it was spoken with clear voice. When she was alone with someone she could even hear what the people thought. 

Of course it drove her insane after years of use.
