Balloon trap

Properties

Description

This trap consists of a buoyant balloon tied to an anchor by a very thin strand of metal. The strand acts as a vertical tripwire that triggers the trap, targeting any flying creature that contacts it. The trap's creator may set any number of mechanical or magical effects to be triggered when the trap is activated. Balloon traps are especially useful against creatures with large wingspans, or when the balloon is concealed, as in a tree canopy or smoke cover. Below is a sample balloon trap.
