Set trap DC

Unread post by The Whistler »

No, not the DC required to set one up. What I want to know is how the reflex check is calculated when you trigger a player-set trap. My google queries proved fruitless, so I turn to you good people, to answer this for me.

Is the set trap skill used to determine the check at all, or is it just the default trap DC one has to save against ? Thanks in advance for any responses.

DC for saves are set, the DC to find a player set trap is what changes, its normal DC + player skill

So what is the "final" amount needed to set the highest dc traps?
