Description:

Often seen as one of the shadier engineering arts, traps and locks are perhaps the oldest of all forms of engineering. With this skill, a character begins to learn how to form both traps and locks. There are three levels of advancement for this art: low, medium, and high. Each level allows the character to develop more complex traps and locks, thus making them more dangerous or difficult to bypass. The skill cost for making a trap or lock depends on just how much work the character wishes to put into the item.
