It's a basic and cool feature of the trickster, and nerfing it takes some of the cool factor away from the class. Sure, it will negate some traps and such. But that's the cool part of having the trickster. Much like one of the cool parts of having a ranger is that you can never get lost. Heck, I not only wouldn't stop putting traps in, I'd make sure they were in there to give that character an opportunity to shine. For the same reason, I wouldn't make every trap explode past the 30ft range. Of course, here's the devious way one makes traps still relevant on occasion:1) Not all traps will be easily detected. Sooner or later one just opens the wrong door or doesn't find the trap even when you look. Just throw in the occasional high difficulty find.2) Not all traps can be disabled with thieves tools.3) Sometimes, it's not the damage from the trap that matters. It's the noise. The alarm going off. The enemies being alerted.4) Sometimes you aren't worried about the traps hurting you. You're worried about what it does to the item you want that the trap is protecting. The very valuable scrolls burn up! The valuable carvings are shattered!5) From time to time, you can't be 30ft away because you only have line of sight when you are close. Tunnel turns a sharp corner, goes 5ft and there's a trapped door. Or, the trap requires crawling down a narrow crawlspace. Etc. etc.6) And sure, from time to time, the whole ceiling collapses or the room fills with poision gas and 30ft isn't much help.There's lots of ways traps are still fun. Just make sure that there are opportunities for them to use their super cool 'bomb defusion robot' that keeps everyone safe. Just my two cents.AD</blockquote>
