Posted a demo. Hope it works - Haven’t had a chance to modify it

I posted my demo module. The widget item should be there under “Plot Items”. The widget goes into your PC quick slot. ANY long item - staff, pole, etc. - can be wielded. When near the trap, use the widget and it will use the long item to prod the trap.

Awesome…can’t wait to try it later today 
Thanks.
Tested …it works !!..great job! But I thought initially too that it could destroy your item it is prodding the trap with on a failed saving throw and injure the person prodding the trap on that fail. Was I wrong in thinking that it could do that too? When I tested it…nothing broke. On the last trap I could not set off the trap. It doesn’t show any rolls done to demonstrate if I was failing for example. I tried about 15 times never could set off that trap. So I don’t know by the lack of showing rolls how I was faring.
If the staff was taking damage you would be getting feedback about the damage. If it was the magical staff, it resists the damage. I guess you could up the damage on the traps to see if the staff would break or not. When I tested it, my staff broke usually by the last chest.
But you are right, I don’t think the math is shown - I could work that in.

I love this whole concept. True to the PNP D&D. Yeah that would be great to see the math. Also, some sort of comment to say your “weapon” is about to break or is broken. Thanks Mannast!

Here is the script"staff_end_dam" edited to give feedback - paste it over the one in the toolset and save away

}Awesome!..going to try this out…thanks!!
Tested it…much better )
But I thought you would include a dice roll to see by how much it saved by. And I wonder…how much damage can the prodding weapon take before it breaks?
So further testing I tried it on a deadly Spike trap. It disarmed it with a non-magical staff in hand it caused the staff 76 points of damage…nothing happened to PC…
All the math is in the script above, except for the attack of the trap against the “end of the staff” which calls the above script. I’ve noticed in testing that it is not always causes damage, even though I reduced the saving throws for the staff end, I think it still saves against damage every so often. In your example, I am not sure why the normal staff did not get destroyed and you receive the other 50+ - it defaults to 20 hits per item.
While reviewing this post, it occurred to me that the traps may kill the staff end outright, which may cause it to vanish before this script runs properly - I suppose it could be in both the OnDamage of the staff end and maybe OnDeath - I will look at it.
Thanks Mannast,
I really appreciate you doing this. I can’t wait to implement this into my module when it is done.

Hi Mannast,
Sorry to bother you - but are you still going to do that?
Sorry - my rl job has me working from home now - which is great, but also has seriously cut into my recently new-found NWN time. I will see what I can do today, though
NP Mannast…but thanks if you can
Okay - this playtested ok for me. Put in the OnDamage slot of the placeable you want to check.

Thanks Mannast for this weapon breakable script
I was speaking to the Staff probing script where it shows the damage (rolls are shown) staff takes on setting off traps…(the rolls), but hey I’m grateful for this script too. I am going to test this script out.
I went with the first question - however, the DoDamage function from this script is what I’m putting into the “staff_end_dam” script. That one currently gives magic items a free ride, but the save bonus might allow me to put it in instead. Still messing with that one.
I posted the script and then realized I was backwards on how I displayed damage - I will post again once fixed

Thanks Mannast. Of course to just make sure…the script you are referring to is the staff prodding one …right?
