[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 3023399, member: 20239"] To me, having the character with high saves pull the lever isn't a reasonable precaution. Having an expendable proxy pull the lever is a reasonable precaution. If the party is having the person with the best saves pull the lever it's obviously an admission that they suspect the lever may be trapped. If you suspect the lever may be trapped a "reasonable precaution" is to make sure no one in the party directly pulls the lever. You either 1) use a proxy or 2) if you don't have a proxy leave and come back when you do or 3) don't ever pull the lever. Having the monk pull the lever seems like the equivalent of a group of people in the real world who want to find out if a handgun is loaded with blanks or real bullets selecting the person who is in the best health to get shot in the stomach because he has the best chance of surviving if the bullets are real. Yeah, you've made some effort to mitigate the danger of someone dying while figuring out the question at hand, but I'd hardly say you've taken "reasonable precautions". [/QUOTE]
