PF2e Hazard XP Calculator
Add traps, haunts, and hazards to your PF2e encounter budget. Hazard XP in Pathfinder 2e uses the same level-based system as creatures: a simple trap of the party's level contributes 40 XP, just like a standard monster. Build mixed encounters combining creatures and hazards, or use the encounter calculator for creature-only encounters.

How Hazard XP Works
In PF2e, both simple hazards (traps, terrain) and complex hazards (haunts, multi-round dangers) contribute to the encounter XP budget the same way as creatures - based on their level relative to the party. Use the same XP table as creatures (level −4 to +4).

PF2e Hazard XP Rules - How It Works
In Pathfinder 2e, hazards contribute XP to encounter budgets just like creatures. A simple hazard (a single triggered trap) grants XP equal to a creature of the same level. A complex hazard (one with a full initiative that acts each round) grants XP equal to a creature four levels higher than its listed level.
Use the hazard encounter builder for mixed encounters with both monsters and environmental dangers. For a dungeon room with a pit trap (simple hazard, party level) and two guards (level -1 each), the total XP budget correctly sums all three entries. The tool automatically applies party size adjustments.
The Difficulty Class of a hazard's effects is set by its level. Use the DC reference table to find the right DC for Reflex saves, Perception checks to detect the hazard, and Thievery checks to disable it.
