Any way to lay down 10 spikes in the ground and place a pressure plate above it so that the spikes impale whatever target is standing above the plate?
It seems as if you can't place spikes and a pressure plate in the same spot.

I believe this is intentional. You'd essentially have a weapon trap that never gets stuck, obsoleting other types of simple traps.

No, that's not possible, you could just make a weapon trap and fill it with spears, but eh, if you did what you wanted to do now, you'd have a weapon trap that would never hurt the creature running across it, unless they were dumb enough to stand still on it.
Anyway, my favorite thing to do with upright spikes are to hook them up to a repeater, though too many of them are likely to make your FPS suffer a bit.

Also, there is a delay between someone standing on a plate and whatever it is linked to activating. A repeating lever seems the best option, as plates can get 'stuck' in the on or off position somehow or out of sync I believe (not used this myself, but from what others have said and the wiki, this seems to be the case)
