Poison Trap

The Poison Trap is a mechanical trap in Remixed Dungeon that inflicts the Poison status effect when triggered.

• Poison Duration: 4 + (dungeon depth / 2) turns
• Effect Range: Single target at trap location
• Trigger: Stepped on by a character (hero or mob)

When a character steps on a Poison Trap, it releases toxic gas that poisons the trigger. The poison will last for 4 + (current dungeon depth / 2) turns, with the duration affected by the target's resistance (e.g., from Ring of Elements). A visual effect of poison particles bursts from the trap location when triggered.

• Trigger: Activated when any character moves onto the trap's cell
• Effectiveness: Duration affected by target's poison resistance
