Description	The character has learned to construct traps and lures.

Trap-Making is a crafting skill. Characters who have learned this skill can construct traps or lures from common components, as long as the appropriate design has been learned. Tier 1 trap designs are automatically learned with the first level of the skill; others must be purchased. The second and fourth ranks of this skill do not increase the range at which a character can detect enemy traps.^{[confirmation needed]}

While all characters who have learned this skill can set traps, only rogues can disarm them.
