    [​IMG] 1. Time trap won't save. If you save your game and go back, the time trap is gone. Bug.

    2. Time trap won't go off when the enemy enters the area UNLESS the thief is also nearby.

    For instance:

    Dragon buffets you across the dungeon. You shake your head and run back. He's standing on top of your traps (a normal number of traps, not goofy "trap n' sleep" stuff). But when you come into viewing range, the time trap goes off, but only then.

    3. Time trap works on major enemies when time stop will not. I have used it on two dragons, the one in gilrathi (spelling?) land and Big Blue. It was slightly helpful in both situations, just as it was meant to be.

    4. Time Trap is not effected by your actual trapping skill rating. I'll need to confirm this one to make sure sure.

    5. Time Trap can be deadly if you combine it with wands. You can lay down 5 wand charges, and in some cases, if you have the right wand for the right enemy, they are in big trouble. But can your thief use wands? Only with UAI ability.

    Anything else fun you can do with time trap? Put it here.

    time traps + assasination = ludicrous amounts of damage

    Time trap is very bad with some enemies, such as demigorgon and Ravenger. Everything freezes but you and the main enemy. Of course, you can hammer on any summoned enemies, but the enemies in question can do the same thing, including munching on your NPC's. Unless you are an assassin and you are invisible and backstabbing, time trap is a bad idea with these two especially.
