No death from damage traps

[maseck]

Getting killed by poison vines alone is rather unpleasant. Damage traps should not be able to kill a player, but only damage him/her. After a near death fight, the game will be more lenient to the player's idiocy.

That invites an interesting question: what are traps supposed to do, exactly? They're a meaningless annoyance after the very early game, except for rogue traps. Even in the early game, one would have to be extraordinarily careless or unlucky to die to one. Usually they just mean you have to hit R again.
