The spell doesn't find traps & by extension I guess this gets a pass?</li> </ul>Even things like the stance that PCs are represented in adds up.  You almost never see one in a wary or defensive stance even when such a thing would be justified like death & dying on 196/197 where you have what seems to be some herbs in a mortar&pestle alongside what seems to maybe be a potion.  I went with searching the PHB for the word traps figuring that it should be a sure fire way of at least having an image showing a pc engaged in some kind of delicate or hypothetically dangerous situation but quite the reverse was the case.  If you look at the DMG120-123 things get worse with a treasure chest & a PC in some kinda khali ma pose aimed at a trap that seems to have been dangerous to someone else going by the blood.</blockquote>
