[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 3757521, member: 49613"] Well... not so fast. The Thief in Greyhawk has an ability to "Remove Traps", but it doesn't say anything about "finding" them! ;) I find the OD&D approach so liberating. OD&D is less of a rules set and more a fusion-powered jetpack you can strap onto your imagination. It depends on which rules set you're using. In Tom Moldvay's Classic (Otus covers), everybody has a 1 in 6 chance of finding mechanical traps, except Dwarves which get a 2 in 6 and Thieves who can use their percentage (maybe in addition to the above; the text is unclear). This rule gets kind of lost in the terribly unclear (but kid friendly) Mentzer set; I'm actually not sure what becomes of it in 1E. [/QUOTE]
