**Classic Spike Pit:** A trap door opens up below the character. Roll 1d6 for the number of spikes landed on, and then 1d4 damage for each. **Optional:** 50% chance of poison for each spike, with character losing 1 HP per minute until cured or dead.

**Classic Snake Pit:** A trap door opens up below the character. Roll 1d4 for number of snake attacks. Roll d100 again for each snake: 01-75% snake is poisonous, 76-00% snake is constricting (consult favorite monster guide).
