Whether the trap gets triggered or not is entirely dependent on the trap, what triggers it, and what the characters do around the trap. If they take the action that triggers the trap, the trap is triggered. | |

Make DM vs GM consistent (since this is D&D, I'll go with DM); other minor edits (spaces, capitalisation, etc)
