I believe that trap damage is coded in the game as trap damage. Not the type of trap. As far as the game knows the damage type, in the report in the combat log, is just a special effect of the trap. I could be wrong thou.

Off topic, but how do you get the extra toolbars there at the bottom? Is this a custom GUI or is that possible and I am just clueless?
I am siding with clueless for now.. for about 3 months I didnt even know to hit enter to speak.. I always used the custom tool used for speaking other languages. hehe.
I've seen several screenies of people with toolbars on the sides of the screen running vertical too.. how do you do that?

I did the same thing with the language bar  The settings are in your options - interface - hotbar options (click which you want to see) Restart NWN2 to see them. Play with them until you know which number hotbar goes where |

Right, you can get several hotbars up in the interface options.
As for trap coding being different, I had Energy immunity fire up and took 0 from a fire trap, and took 0 from another electrical trap. Just that trap decided to zap me. Since I refuse to lose XP from that situation I will just leave Nich where he is until there is a reset.

I don't know yet.
I looked at this a night or two ago and eventually hit a dead end when tracing how the electric trap damage works.
Eventually I couldn't find a function that was being called for the electric trap damage, so I'm not sure if it's compiled into the executable or where it is.
But it seems it's not visible from the toolkit.
On top of that I'm not sure how it did 313 damage either.
The code says it does 50d6() electric damage which should have a max of 300.
So it's a giant mystery right what is going on with the electric traps.

Epic traps are entirely different then your standard traps. I'll have to dig around for the info again on them, but they operate on a different code then the normal traps, they were introduced with MotB.
I'll see what I can find out about them, had this problem about a year ago and found the answer then.

From poking around in the Frost Giants lair the problem I encountered was not necessarily high damage from an epic trap. It seemed either several traps were stacked or the same trap was sprung numerous times. So while my epic level character could survive a hit from a trap doing 200+damage. If that same trap springs 2-3 times and hits for 200 100 100 + damage, I'm fuging it. Which is what happened to me last night.
Two additional things occurred to me as my whole party was killed by traps. We easily held our own against the giants, wolves and mystics. But the traps seemed to be way above the level of the monsters inhabiting the giant lair. Secondly, it didn't seem that Frost giants, mystics and winter wolves would be capable of setting or disabling epic traps themselves.
