Trapspringers are masters in the art of disarming traps.
They usually use somehow unusual ways to disarm them though, and most
of these ways are not the best around. Trapspingers are taught the art
of disarming traps by retired trapspringers at the Trapspringer Academy
of Hylo. These studies last for an undetermined time, mostly until the
student gets bored and decides to go test his skills on the field.
Social Ranks : The trapspringer kit does not affect the social
rank of the character. Therefore normal tables are used to determine it's
social rank.

down and make quick movements harder.

Hinderance: Trapspringers have a passion for traps. Each time
they see one, they will try to disarm it, even if it is not needed. They
will often pause to study the traps' mechanics, and try to understand
the way they work (only for fun, not because it's useful). Each time they
see one, they will pause for 3d4 rounds to look at the trap.
Wealth: Trapspringers start with the standard amount of money
allowed for his class. However, he must at all cost buy thieve's picks
at the time of the character creation.
