[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 219766, member: 2002"] Or: False Traps, if they really push the issue. After all, at that point, one can assume that they are being unreasonably paranoid. (Assuming that you have warned them, begged them and made whimpering noises about their overly cautious searches and how much game time they're wasting.) "You think you detect a trap in the floor tile." "I attempt to disable it. I rolled a 14, +10, that's a 24." "You pry loose the tile, only to find that the 'trap' was really just a piece of lint. Suspicious lint, but nothing dangerous. You think..." "Oh crap. That other tile looks suspicious too. Could be a pressure trap." "I'll check that one out too. I roll a 27." "Nope, sorry, just loose. There appears to be a stray piece of gravel under one edge. You wanna Search the piece of gravel?" +++ But again, if you have conditioned your players into this behavior, then it's up to you to stop doing whatever you're doing that makes them behave like this before you can begin working with them on it.
