Where the fun in that. Boring....The only way I could see it working is if there was a dice roll against passive perception. So there is some random element like (Pit Trap Hide +5).If they were to go with this method and static DC or levels (like Expert Traps, etc) then they had better balance it out with something interesting to do with the skills once the trap has been perceived.</blockquote>
