*two rangers sitting in a camp*
Ted: "Ah! good night for some Dath Avian hunting eh?"
Zeak: "Yeap!"
Ted: "Is thatJBover therefighting that BH?"
*JB throws a trap on a long arc which sprays the BH with a sickly smelling liquid*
Zeak: "UH OH! Looks like he splashed him with the 'Hump Dump juice'!! He'd better run!"
*BH begins to curse as he tries to futilely wipe the fluid off. JB runs up the side of a mountain and disappears over the peak*
*4 rancors appear*
Ted: "Hey Zeak......what are those Rancors doing?! Never seen an aggro like that before!"
Zeak: "Ted....you gotta watch this!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!"

yeah, this goes with the idea a friend of mine and I thought up. Basically, anyone can place bounties on player's heads. BHs with inv 4 can take the bounties and get the cr. there is a 1 week timer on the bounty, after that, the money is refunded to who ever placed the bounty. Smugglers can "check " (read: slice) the BH terms to check a certain name's bounty status. This way, people can place bounties on players (RP purposes), BHs can kill more than Jedi (Evening the greif over the entire community), and Smugglers can smuggle. Now, with this trap, Rangers will have another purpose: Bounty Protection. We grab the hunted, hit the wilderness, and kill the BHs with out awesome survival skills. I was also thinking that this player bounty may have a requirement of atleast 1 novice elite skill inorder to be elligable for a bounty to be placed on their head.

I like the idea of player targetted traps. But I dont see us getting any at all.

I for one know they would. A certain somebody made a fountain named "Phenix's Punchbowl" put it in a spaceship and took pictures of me in it. I swear, I thought it was a shower. Of vodka. a vodka shower. Makes perfect sense.

Great trap idea.
It'd even be fun just to make high-end mobs go at it... kind like a jedi mind trick, but in a trap.
Actually, I worry that they way you have this trap set up would be TOO powerful. Still, I think it's great.

Hmmm...
OK, leaving aside the new hobby of BH-baiting, I like this. Would the trap attract specific animals, or just the nearest / biggest / fugliest one?
You could use it on another creature, peace out, then sit back and wait for some bigger prey trundling into the kill zone...
cooeee
Mr Gorax....
(There is a precedent for something like this now, btw, the neutral space cadet faction have a 'pirate trap' which causes pirate craft to spawn and aggro.)

If you used it on a particular species of animal, would animals of the same species attack it, and animals from the same lair? Could you use the trap on the female of the spawn and have the male animals attack it for example?

Just any agro creature would attack it.(thats the idea i came up with)
Like if you have a large creature that is to big for you to take down on your own like say some of the lesser kryats that spawn i groups at times then have the targeted creature be ganged up on by its former allies because it would make the othercreatures think that it was dying and just a good meal to go after. An example of this would be if 4 kryats where near eachother and you throw a trap at one; the other 3 would argro the targeted creature and "help" you kill it. slowly allowing you to do this to each as they would slowlybe weakened by "eating" eachother all the while you get your hides and ect. loot that they drop. A second reason would be to escape. say the last kryat agros you so you throw a trap on it and some smaller agro spawns try to kill it so the kryat truns to deal with them all the while you are merrily running for you life and possably getting away home free.
