[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 2013169, member: 3586"] The traps aren't entirely arbitrary. The vast bulk of the traps are locatable by a Rogue, and there are also plenty of other Open Lock, Search, Disable Device, Spot and related skill checks to keep a Rogue busy. There are one rather nasty set of traps that no-one can detect, but the reasoning behind them is totally in keeping with the spirit of the module and the game... they are avoidable only if a certain set of conditions are met beforehand. Although there are a lot of undead, there are also outsiders and magical beasts for the rogue to sneak attack. You might want to go through Necropolis without a rogue... I certainly wouldn't! The conversion is masterful, and skill points, saving throws and ability checks are definitely included. As I mentioned, there is one sequence where the rogue's skills will be in vain... but even then, Mr Gygax gives suggestions for toning it down to suit your playing group. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
