Watercurrent floor (4e Trap)

This trap is only focussed on dealing as much damage as possible. The trap delays until a creature steps on it, and attacks each turn on its initiative after that. If that happens, a powerful jet of water will burst out, smacking the creature into the ceiling, and dropping it on the ground thereafter. A Dungeoneering DC 20 will reveal that there's water flowing under the floor.

This trap can be used in many ways, but can become fun when the ceiling above the trap is an illusion and the creature will be pushed in another room.
