So this is a question I have been looking around for an answer for for a long LONG time... How long does it take to set up a trap in combat?

I have several books for pathfinder that have classes that "reduce the amount of time needed to set a mechanical trap", but alas, I cannot find a rule for this.

And then the rogue can have a talent to set a trap half their level in CR. THAT gives a time frame, but only with the talent.

Can anyone help me?

Since it uses the craft rules, I think that building a trap from scratch can take a few days. For setting one that is already built, there is this line: "Resetting a trap usually takes only a minute or so", so I would assume the same applies for setting one up in combat. So it's ambiguous but 10 rounds seems like it would be a decent general baseline.
