What I gather then is this, Monsters don't spring traps and they can jump over discovered pit traps 100% of the time (given enough Movement Squares and a vacant square beyond the trap, yadda yadda yadda). What about Monsters landing on undiscovered traps? Do all you Zargons/Morcars out there let your Monsters attack from a trap square?
I can infer from the above rules that Monsters can move through trap squares as if they're jumping them, but there is a short little sentence in the rule book that describes Pit Traps:
pg. 18 wrote:A pit trap is a covered hole in the floor.
I picture it as a hole covered in rotting planks of wood or maybe loose stone. *shrugs* But my point is, won't a Chaos Warrior with all its armor fall into that pit? Hmm... now that I've typed all this up and think about it more, maybe that first rule applies about Monsters not springing traps. That Chaos Warrior just kinda stands there carefully and attacks kinda gently or something, so he won't fall in the hole. Besides the rules are sometimes ambiguous or contradictory, here's an example:
pg. 19 wrote:Heroes beware! Falling block traps are very dangerous. Stepping on one may trigger the ceiling to collapse.
Huh? Are you serious? There's a chance that stepping on one may NOT trigger the ceiling to collapse? We all know that to be false, so I guess there are times when the rule book is descriptively incorrect.
Yeah, I guess I answered my own question then, Monsters can probably end their turn on a trap square and attack from it if they wish. I guess I was trying to think of a way to map out trap squares from the way Zargon moves his monsters. Oh well, it was worth a try. Thanks for listening to me ramble.
