(Profession)
The 'trapmaking' thief skill permits a thief to install and repair mechanical traps. It also gives him a better chance of detecting and disarming such traps, and mechanical traps yield better salvage when removed by a thief empowered with this skill.
Mechanical traps are more expensive and complicated than the booby traps one would build using the 'trapping' skill alone. Examples including hidden fusillades and grenades traps.
