Gargoyle Head

A Gargoyle Head is a type of Trap placed in various locations throughout all three Acts of the game.

Involvement

Gargoyle Heads are an interior feature, chiselled of stone and placed onto a wall surface. They are commonly placed in dungeons, crypts and well-equipped vaults, serving as adornment and a means of defence for these places (or parts of them) from trespassers.

As traps, Gargoyle Heads are usually triggered through a marble plate (or similar means) planted nearby.

Upon triggering, Gargoyle Heads send forth  Fire Bolts once per turn, which deal 2d6⁠⁠Fire on impact with any obstacle in their way.

The only exception are Gargoyle Heads in one of the halls of the Sorcerous Vault; these shoot spells similar to  Arrows of Ice (2d4⁠⁠Cold)

Gargoyle Heads can be disarmed with the help of  Sleight of Hand skill, provided the character has a  Trap Disarm Toolkit in their inventory. Though the Difficulty Class can vary, the minimum requirement is a  DC 10 Sleight of Hand Check.

Once successfully disarmed, Gargoyle Heads crumble into a heap of rubble.
