[QUOTE="KenM, post: 2482406, member: 7583"] I did do this once when I was running a GURPS fantasy game. The PC had the overconfedence disadvantage. This makes him thinks he is better then he is accually is. it was the party thief. He was checking out a chest for traps, ect. I make those roles in secret. I tell the player: "you check it out and it looks safe." The player told me he backs away a little from the chest before he opens it. Thats when i told he he does no such thing. He stays where he is. I told the player: "You have overconfedence, you checked out the chest yourself. You KNOW its not trapped." ;) The chest really was clean, but the player did not know that. [/QUOTE]
