A small metal device filled with explosive material. It detonates when a creature comes close, dealing significant fire damage. Traps can be placed within melee range (5 feet) and armed as part of the same action.

When a creature moves within 5 feet of the trap, it triggers an explosion dealing 3d6 fire damage to all creatures within a 10-foot radius. Affected creatures can make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to take half damage.
