| A well-concealed hole containing a crossbow-like contraption with a self-loading mechanism. Beware of its bolts, as a steel construction can reach draw forces far above those of a living arbalester. |
A bolt trap is a trap which fires a bolt when stepped upon by a player or monster. It is the most damaging of the traps that fire damaging ammunition, followed by the spear trap.
Bolt traps hold 3-11 +0 bolts and fire when stepped upon, dealing between 1 and 40 damage to the player, or just between 1 and 13 to a monster.
Repel Missiles and Deflect Missiles both reduce the chance of this trap being able to hit the player.
