[QUOTE="Someone, post: 3026553, member: 5656"] I would have been very annoyed if I was the monk´s player. My lines of thinking would have been along these lines: - The rogue, the authority in traps, the guy´s whose jobs is to find traps, the very guy who´s getting a share of the treasure because he´s good finding traps and who I´ve been seeing training hard finding and disarming traps, has found no traps even when he´s exhaustively searched for one. - There´s the possibility that there´s, in fact, a trap so cleverly hidden that the rogue, the authority in traps, the guy´s whose jobs is to find traps, the very guy who´s getting a share of the treasure because he´s good finding traps and who I´ve been seeing training hard finding and disarming traps, has not found, even when he´s exhaustively searched for them. But since traps aren´t cheap, it makes sense that only an idiot would put a trap so cleverly hidden in a place where any would be intruder won´t likely interact with it (and if they interact with it, it will be only after kicking his ass and stealing the McGuffin, so the trap wouldn´t have actually any sense). I would put such a cleverly hidden trap either protecting the McGuffing, or at the start of my dungeon, where it can zap the maximum number of intruders and get the maximum zapped adventurer/Gp cost ratio. The BBEG wasn´t an idiot, therefore there´s no such clevely hidden trap. - This lever, being where it is, probably just opens a scape hatch designed to make a backdoor exit from the dungeon. If we use it, we may avoid running into any monster we didn´t fight in the first place and that is now wandering the corridors looking for the bathroom. I´ll pull it. *ZAP* - I hope that the rogue, the authority in traps, the guy´s whose jobs is to find traps, the very guy who´s getting a share of the treasure because he´s good finding traps and who I´ve been seeing training hard finding and disarming traps, hasn´t found this trap even when he´s exhaustively searched the lever, doesn´t get his share of the treasure. And the BBEG is a moron. [/QUOTE]
