Options for the trapfinding ability

[korasukage]

Hey everyone I was wondering what other options there are for a group that does not have someone with the rogues trapfinding ability. Though there is a pc with the disable device skill. I know that there are spells for finding traps etc but are there any other ways to facilitate the trapfinding ability when there is no rogue in the group. Any suggestions would be appreciated-thanks

Creative uses of equipment to hopefully set of the trap but not being injured by the trap.

rangers or others with search can still find traps with DCs of 20 or below.

Barbarians (high hit points), paladin (high AC, good hit points, great saves usually), or monk (great saves, evasion, deflect arrows) in the lead to set them off.

Knock or open/close spells to open chests from a safe distance. Mage hand to pull levers, etc. from a safe distance. Detect magic to find magical traps.

Asking sufficient questions to figure out the traps without skill rolls needed.

Using poles to tap in front of you can detect pits if you go slowly depending upon the trigger.

Summon monsters/animate corpses to open suspected trapped things.
