* A critical failure results in breaking the mine's tripwire, turning it into a dud.
To use this This weapon, it must be planted on your Side (the ''Protected Side''). Upon planting it, you must "aim" the mine in the direction you are expecting an enemy to approach from (the ''Target Side''). As soon as it is planted, the mine is immediately primed and ready.
The mine will be triggered if a creature (any, including the owner of the mine!) from the Target Side travels towards the Protected Side. If that creature was about to attack (such as for a melee attack), the attack is canceled. If the creature survived, they still end up on the Target Side.
