Confusing Room
The room does not appear to have anything wrong with it. A successful DC(18) Arcana check determines that the room is possessed of an unstable magical aura. The trap is activated as soon as more than one person is in the room. When the trap activates, roll on the following table to determine which effect the room imposes, which affects all creatures in the room and everything they are carrying.
The trap resets after one minute, at which point it is able to impose another effect on creatures within the room.
