This is a comprehensive trap table that was mostly composed by Matthew Guilmette ages ago (laud his memory!), that I've polished off and rounded out for post to the list. The original version of this table might still be on the web someplace, but I couldn't find it. Hope it's entertaining and/or useful. If any WHQ site would like to pick up this table and place it on their website, PLEASE do so.

using it's profile and powers until the end of the adventure. If the monster is humanoid he may continue to use his magical equipment but must roll below his willpower each turn before he can verbally communicate with his comrades. If the warrior is turned into something non-humanoid he may not use his equipment (but may still carry it) and may not communicate with his fellow warriors within the context of the game.
