What is the traps generator?
The traps generator builds traps for D&D 5e that fit your party. You choose difficulty, party level from 1 to 20, environment, type (mechanical, magical or hybrid), lethality and a style such as cult, drow or undead. The trap comes with core values — check and DC to detect and to disable it, damage with a saving throw and its DC — plus origin, effect, counterplay, reset notes and a treasure or clue. DCs and damage grow with the party level. Secondary effect, alarm and complication can be switched on or off one by one.
How it works
- Set difficulty and party level.
- Narrow environment, type, lethality and style — or leave them on “Any”.
- Switch secondary effect, alarm and complication on or off, then click “Generate Trap”.
- “Re-Roll” keeps your settings and the rolled type and refreshes details and DCs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the traps generator free, and do I need an account?
It is free and works without an account or sign-in. You open the page and start rolling.
How do the DCs scale?
In four tiers by party level: 1–4, 5–10, 11–16 and 17–20. Each tier raises the base DC and the damage dice. On top of that, difficulty moves the DCs two points down or up, and lethality removes or adds a damage die.
Can my players get out of the trap?
Every trap lists its counterplay right in the output, so you always have a way out in front of you.
Are my traps saved?
