Just something I chukled to myself today: how does one make divine traps? I mean some cleric blesses a bunch of wires and a plate, and when the adventurer steps on it a deity, sitting on his throne, points a finger down at the prime material plane like Monthy Python and announces with a resonating voice:
Thou has stepped on my holy plate, for which I shall smite thou.

I'm guessing liberal use of heavy holy water is involved. Beyond that, haven't a clue.

Well, you do use holy water when crafting holy traps.

I always assumed it to be a holy water version of an acid spray trap.

)noy neffective versus undead and tieflings then though, or?
Everyone else will just feel mildly annoyed at being sprinked with water.

Tieflings aren't weak to holy water. That's Cold Iron for Demons and Alchemically Silvered weapons for Devil, iirc. Maybe it was Cold Iron for both of them.

I'm pretty sure it's Cold Iron for Demons and Silver for Devils.
Out of curiosity, does Cold Iron affect Fey at all in D&D/FR?

Yes. Fey have natural damage resist, that are negated with cold iron. Also fey feel extreme discomfort if in contact with cold iron and get a -1 morale penalty to all skills, ab, damage, ac (and abilities I think).
or was it -2.. I can't remember as my beautiful pdf books are missing, thanks to a dying hdd.

King water (or whatever) exists, so why not King holy water?

Ahh okay, I knew that in folklore they were suppose to be hurt by Cold Iron, I wasn't sure if it had been carried over to D&D or not.

The traps that my Johanna makes are individually blessed with a little sting courtesy of Brandobaris himself. Oh he loves a good trap he does.

I remember I imagining Beshaba would think Va is quite the adorable little darling, when he was carpeting the Manor Master's Chamber floor with Divine Traps.
Then she had Bidoc be a no-spawn. Bitch.
I have pondered something similar to this. There's a small but non-zero number of weapons that give Divine damage in the game but aren't restricted to divine classes. Which god's running them, and if it's simply the patron of the wielder, what about the Faithless, and what about when the weapon's used against their favourite things in the world?

I blame Ao?

Not possible. Ao doesn't meddle with the mortals.

Divine damage is really just positive energy, which is the opposite of negative energy. Blessed substances can be used to create conduits with which to channel positive energy. The trap is not actually a target for a diety to aim at, but instead an alchemical means of duplicating a priests ability to channel positive energy.
Although the RP interation for DM's might be interesting by having traps of heavenly smiting... *A voice booms from the heavens* "Disarm my trap will you! I (Insert annoyed diety here) smite thee!" *Greater ruin smitage ensues.*

Divine damange isn't positive damage, they're two distinct things. I'm not sure if divine damage, per se, exists in D&D outside NWN? I'm not all too familiar with the core rules of the game.
As for Ruce's question, I'd say the damage becames part of the weapon during its creation, gods don't play an active role after that. I never did understand the restriction of divine damage to divine classes only, from a purely IC perspective, but I guess it gives them something to feel special about.

As far as I am aware, it isn't (at least not in the core rules), but spells that definitely do damage are described as simply doing that damage. Maybe the NWN engine required a damage type to represent this *shrugs*

Ah, you are probably right. In NWN, Flame Strike deals divine damage, for example. Look at the description from d20 SRD:
Quote: A flame strike produces a vertical column of divine fire roaring downward. The spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Half the damage is fire damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks. _________________ On Joon, Kjetta wrote: The guy that probably has sexual fantasies about masturbation.
