@Kolanaki@The_Picard_Maneuver I guess, depending on *how* you went about setting up the tripwire, the question then becomes “Why didn’t the sprinting giant stop sprinting when it saw a rope being dragged across a gap between two trees and become taut?”.
Yeah, that setup *could* work, but in that timeframe, it feels like it was less plausible, as it would’ve worked better as a prepped beforehand trap.
I mean, I asked if I had time, DM said yes but what good would it do. Then I showed him the rule. He could have made the call I didn’t have time, or rolled to see if the giant saw it.
The way I described what I’d do is that I tied 9je end of the rope to the base of one tree, then ran a circle around another to make it taught, then rolled a strength check while still holding the rope tight to make sure the giant didn’t just walk through and pull it loose since I couldn’t tie the second end down in time.
