Not sure if other suggestion threads have been posted by this(As I haven't found any), but I'd like to rig furniture(Like beds, statues, and such) to act as either traps or secret passages. What may seem like a perfectly normal obsidian statue turns out to be a secret passage to a night creature's lair. A kobold thief goes to admire a pure gold statue, only to get sliced into tiny kobold bits by serrated discs in the statue's base.
Sounds good?

I like the idea of having things rigged up as secret levers, pressure plates etc, but I think trapped items should be left to dwarven ingenuity.

True.

Link bed to pressure plate.  Link pressure plate to door to support holding room up from magma.  Sweet dreams?

Humans throughout the ages have invented traps as well as dwarf's, it wouldn't be uncommon to think others could.

I meant it as a figure of speech. I wasn't being specific

When I was really young some friends of the family played a lot of ADnD. They had a toilet in their dungeons placed to trick new players into taking a seat, unfortunately for them it had a tendency to explode.

While toilets are unlikely to be added any time soon I wouldn't mind seeing your suggestion implemented. Trapping beds in fortress mode in order to kill your own dwarves troubles me.

It's an easy way to deal with migrants.
When other features come in(Possibly tourists), these trapped items could become quite handy.
Also useful for an Unfortunate Accident.

I don't mind rigging items. Kinda like how you bait animal traps with gems, you can bait golden crowns with weapon traps, to kill kobold thieves. Brings me back to the thousands of hours spent playing dnd, or some rpg, scanning through everything so I don't blow up by some stupid trap.
