Mouse Trap (5e Trap)

Mouse Trap

Mechanical trap

The mouse trap is a trap normally used to keep rodents at bay however if you are playing a tiny character then they could prove troublesome. The trap has either food or small treasures as a lure. Moving through the trap's space triggers the trap. Removing the lure requires a DC 15 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. On a failed check, it triggers the trap. When the trap is triggered, the creature that triggered the trap takes 1d4 slashing damage. It takes one action to reset the trap.
