Snare Crafting in Pathfinder 2e

Snare Crafting - Skill Feat 1
GENERAL SKILL

Requirements Trained in Crafting
Description You can use the Craft activity to create snares. When you select this feat, you add the formulas for four common snares to your formula book.
Applications Alarm Snare: You create an alarm snare by rigging one or more noisy objects to a trip wire or pressure plate. When you create an alarm snare, you designate a range between 100 to 500 feet at which it can be heard. When a Small or larger creature enters the square, the snare makes a noise loud enough that it can be heard by all creatures in the range you designated.   Hampering Snare: You arrange brambles, wires, sticky goo, or other materials to interfere with a creature’s movement. The square with this snare, as well as three adjacent squares (to form a 10-foot-by-10-foot area), become difficult terrain when the first creature enters the snare’s square. The difficult terrain affects the creature’s movement right away, including its movement into the triggering square, and it lasts for 1d4 rounds after the snare is triggered. A creature can use an Interact action to clear the difficult terrain out of a single square early.   Signaling Snare: A subtle snare used in hunting or tracking, a signaling snare often consists of carefully prepared earth, piled sand or stones, specific arrangements of vegetation, and so forth. When a creature enters a square of a signaling snare, nothing happens to the creature, but instead it causes a small, unobtrusive disruption to the terrain that allows the snare’s creator or another creature who knows what to look for to determine whether a creature of the appropriate size entered the square.   Spike Snare: This basic snare consists of hidden spikes that rely on a creature’s momentum to lacerate or potentially impale it as it enters the snare’s square, dealing 2d8 piercing damage. The creature must attempt a DC 17 basic Reflex saving throw.
