Quick Trap — The kobold trapmaster deploys one spike trap in an adjacent square.
Sneak Attack — The kobold trapmaster deals an extra 1d6 damage to creatures that have the Off-Guard condition.
Spike Trap — Once this trap is deployed, anyone who steps on the square it's in takes 2d8 piercing damage and must attempt a DC 17 Reflex saving throw.
