Quite frankly, this idea doesn’t sound nearly as terrible as the others.

wat about stepping on a pile of d4s and legos shoeless[/quote]  
+Standing on an electricity plug (pointy bits facing upwards, of course) makes your player pass out with pain. I’ve stepped on all of these described objects, and all experiences sucked. Lego is still the worst by far though.[/quote]  
I have stepped on Legos before and found them not that painful. Power plugs are a different story though OWWWWWCH.

Though I think I had tough feet when I was a kid. I used to walk around in my neighbors front yard, which was just rocks, barefoot just fine.

There are not enough penalties for being naked, add a chance for melee attacks to inflict the “groped” condition on any exposed skin. It should apply a morale penalty and pain. Unless…

Vibrator mutagen, if you pass threshold, most sensory morale penalties are reversed. Intellectual morale penalties, such as from boring books, would likely be unaffected…

Yeah, I’m gonna formally downcheck vibrator mutagen. That makes no sense.

Problem with lego traps is folks wanting to disarm them and use the legos to build. Fae forfend a lego technic trap get in and folks want to make vehicles, guns, etc out of legos.

We’ve established that it’s a bad idea. No need to continue on it.

Don’t forget that it grants a disturbing tendency to collect random companions.

This made my day, and I’m now envisioning finding npc’s not so much injured by my traps, but enthralled snared by it’s creative potential. Hehee. I always wanted the batman lego.

You step on a lego trap!  
You see here 40 red legos and many other items. They are tempting.  
You sit down and begin to build.

I quite like the idea of some weapon so powerful it can’t be fired safely without special equipment.

Hrm…The world devourer, a rare eldritch spawn which is a giant (HUGE!) worm that digs deep enough that all tiles it passes turn into magma, due to exposing the planet’s core.

And then make it 3x3 map tiles large.

This isn’t actually a bad idea. You could load up the paintball gun with all sorts of paintball pellets with other things inside them - maybe even make special mini-explosive rounds!
