<br />
A '''pressure plate''' is a [[trap]] which causes some pre-scripted, generally bad event to happen. They are destroyed upon being stepped on.<br />
<br />
==Possible Results==<br />
*'''Drop Trap'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.0|dat/des/traps/monster_drop.des|38}}</ref>: Spawns several monsters right next to the player. This is by far the most common variation of pressure plate the player will encounter.<br />

{{flavour|A basket of snakes falls from above!}}<br />
:*Klown Kar: You are immediately surrounded by three to eight [[Killer Klown]]s. Exclusive to the [[Realm of Zot]].<br />
{{flavour|With a honk a tiny klown kar falls from above, and Killer Klowns tumble out!}}<br />
*'''Rats Trap'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.0|dat/des/traps/rats_trap.des|48}}</ref>: A narrow corridor with a pressure plate in the middle, which upon being stepped on reveals the adjacent walls to be filled with [[rat]]s and [[river rat]]s. Only found on [[Dungeon]] levels 4-10.<br />
*'''Liches'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.0|dat/des/branches/crypt.des|2753}}</ref>: Opens grates that hold [[lich]]es, [[ancient lich]]es and [[dread lich]]es in them. Only found in one [[Crypt]] ending.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />

*Snake and Klown Kar drop trap variations were added in [[0.23]].<br />
*Prior to [[0.16]], you could [[levitate]]/[[fly]] over them if you managed to find one before stepping on it.<br />
