Tinkers' Trinkets (Complete)

# Tinkerers' Trinkets! For the creative Tinkerer

When a Tinkerer get's bored, things get made.  When things get made, interesting things happen.  That is the downtime of many an adventurer, and following are a collection of some of the more... Unique adventuring gear industrious tinkerers have created.

Largely a collection of the tinkering gnome extraordinaire, Orryn Mardnab's, work, this collection represents a mere years worth of interviews, research, and testing so that I may provide to you fine people some of the most useful items I've ever seen.
* Unless noted, all "traps" can be triggered by trip-wires and pressure plates.  Spider-Eyes can also be used.
* Traps can be made to stand out, or be hidden, but this cannot be changed until a new one is built.

## Simple Traps & Trinkets

* Typically 1 pound or less.
* Items labeled (Require Repair), cease to function after 24 hours (unless you spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when you use your action to dismantle it; at that time, you can reclaim the materials used to create it. 
* You can have up to three such devices active at a time.

### Multi - Knife
* An indispensable tool for any Tinkerer, this simple knife holds several blades and simple tools that can be folded up into a single tool roughly the size of a human's thumb.
