__About:

A mod that adds hunter traps in the form of Bear Traps to the game.

The player is able to pick up the traps, put them in his/her inventory and place
them whereever he/she sees fit. The player may also craft these traps at a forge.

The traps comes in different shapes; iron, steel, dwarven metal, orcish steel and
ebony, each dealing a different amount of damage.

"Hunter Traps - For all your sneak-thief needs!"

__Author's Thoughts:

Hunter Traps are best suited for characters with a high sneak ability. Mainly
because a high sneak allows the player to place the traps in strategic locations
before engaging in combat. Also skilling the "Light Foot" perk makes sure the player
doesn't step on his/her own traps.
Another good way to use the traps is to combine them with the use of a bow, a well
placed arrow can draw the enemies attention; leading them straight into your traps.

I find using two-four traps at once is ideal. Traps trigger each other, so cluttering
the floor with traps might backfire.

Poison traps are powerful, they might need nerfing. -Balance feedback needed!


_Known Bug:
Skyrim's engine automatically group up dropped items into one if five or more are
dropped at once. -This messes up the mod's scripts; which might delete all the traps
except one and/or cause the traps to malfunction. I strongly recommend the player to
only drop four or less traps at once.


_Credits:
I would like to thank everyone who helped me making this mod at The Nexus Forums and
Bethesda's Creation Kit Forums for their priceless help.
Special thanks goes to: Xtynct, Redwood Elf, kuertee, tunaisafish and Grasmann.
