[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7587071"] Wait...Insight check for what? The player didn't [I]do[/I] anything, he/she just stated his/her beliefs. They are entitled to believe whatever they want. (Which varies from some posters, who believe an Insight check must be made, and success/failure dictates what the character has to believe, regardless of what the player wants.) I don't believe there [I]is[/I] such a skill in 5e. ....aaaaaannnnd you just described what [MENTION=97077]iserith[/MENTION] has been evangelizing. Regardless of how you decide to adjudicate disarming the trap, once he fails all those options that you just listed are players taking actions based on the scene as described by the DM. The DM can now either grant success, grant failure, or ask for a dice roll if the outcome is uncertain. [/QUOTE]
