Figuring out traps or tricks or room features is 90% of the game,But to carry on... they roll their 16 in perception. What if there's a trap in the room? Where are they standing and do they set it off? Are they in range of the effect of the trap? How can I know if they even find the hidden feature, if I don't know what actions they are taking? Just rolling doesn't provide any context. When players just roll perceptions, I ask them for more specifics on what exactly they are doing when they ares searching, where they are looking, how they are approaching the room. Based on that, I can decide that they can't find it, they can make a roll (with maybe some modifiers) to find it, or they find it automatically based on their description.To me that's just playing the game.</blockquote>
