I'm pretty sure the Scorpion Traps WERE deliberately broken in DD1, actually. There's no way a play tester could have missed that.
Frost swords could have been an oversight, sure, as the spell is not broken. The traps, no.
You really think so? Maybe it was not the tester who missed it but things were getting a bit too hectic for those who had to correct it.
Anyway,if it was done on purpose than it was to give weaker players a break,which I applaud,and it took some courage cause it is an unusual thing to do (and not popular with hardcore gamers).
