[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3077630, member: 35788"] [Sblock=Byntrou OOC] Trapfinding is done via the Search skill. Searching is typically a 1 round action for a quick search. To do what you are asking typically follows rules akin to the "taking 20" rule. To take 20, you use up 2 minutes but are guaranteed a nat. 20 on any skill rolls that might be needed - such as Search. You could make such an action, but the tunnel is 20 feet across. That means to search every square would take 8 minutes to move 5 feet forward. Or, about 37.5 feet per hour. If you had hunches that traps might be in the middle or the edge, you could only search certain squares. Or, you could have everyone follow you single file and simply search the squares you are moving through. In that case, you could take 2 minutes to search each 5 foot square and just do a long line of 5 foot squares. This would move you at the fastest rate of 150 feet per hour. In any case, I'll gladly let you take any of the above options or even let you come up with a new option based off of these guidelines. Ultiamtely, though, it is up to the party to see if they want to spend the time. I'll hold back on posting until you determine what course of action you would like to take. That would give Byntrou time to ask advice from the rest of the party should he desire, too.[/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
