[QUOTE="green slime, post: 5631928, member: 1325"] Some things are more obvious than others. Do I really need to spell it out to you, or are you just being obtuse on purpose? 10 feet away, you cannot possibly sense a hidden compartment in a desk. If you select to keep your character that far away, you only get information on what could possibly be detected. A dwarf [b]doesn't[/b] automatically detect a false wall, but gets a +2 bonus to his search check, and does not need to be actively searching, to get the check. But this is the nature of dwarves, to realise that the structure of the stone is just wrong. Nothing to do with sand in an aquarium, or a hidden compartment in a desk.
