Perhaps we're referring to different kinds of traps, but the so called "green blob" traps, such as the one just before the stairs in the Slavers Ship, do deal piercing damage, and piercing damage alone.[/QUOTE]No I'm quite certain that's not the case. Spear traps (a huge spear shoots out from the ground and impales you), such as the one right infront of the chest guarding the portal key in Irenicus dungeon, do indeed deal massive piercing damage, and can be stopped by both stoneskin and Mirror Image. The "Green lob" traps (which also have the standard "pffsss..." acid damage sound) however, such as the one in Mekraths lair and the old Drow part of the Sahuagin City, do nothing but pure acid damage. Stoneskin wont stop it, but acid resistance will. I already tested this and can upload screenshots if you still have doubts [img]smile.gif[/img]
The stair trap in the Slaver Ship is a "Green lob" trap and should be stopped by acid resistance, but not by stoneskin. I haven't actually tested if acid resistance protects you from that particular trap since I usually dont have any resistances at that point, but I do know that it isn't stopped by stoneskin and I've no reason to believe that it differs from any other acid trap in the game.
