Caltrops are not mentioned in the glossary or index. Trapping is mentioned on the outer columns of pages 14 and 15. That does mention snares, deadfalls, box traps, and pit traps. |

One nice thing about pit traps is they are easy to build and don't need much in the way of maintenance, which makes them more plausible to my way of thinking. |

Re: Low-tech traps
Ahh, you're looking at the 3rd edition version. (Softcover, bearded dude with a conical hat on the cover.) My page references were for the hardcover version for GURPS 4th edition. By the barcode, it says: 1st Edition, 1st Printing, Published December 2010, ISBN 978-1-55634-802-0. The section on traps is in chapter 7, on Security and Covert Ops. Weighing in at 160 pages, this version is a significant expansion over the 3rd edition one.

It isn't obviously for any version of GURPS. |

Re: Low-tech traps
I included several real-world traps in my Pyramid article, The Emerald Hell (Overland Adventures).

Re: Low-tech traps
What's the skill for spotting traps by the way?
