[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5612401, member: 4937"] I guess not, but sometimes I find it hard to follow what is being suggested. I often get the feeling that most people look at my text dumps and go, "tl;dr". Well, idiot that I am, I look at post people short posts and go, "Too short; don't understand." After some explanation, I'm left with a new conundrum. I don't understand this: Does not compute. Does not compute. What's the difference between these two things? I could understand if the explanation was, "I just don't like traps.", but that doesn't seem to be what you are saying. If I'm in a dungeon where there is a risk of traps, then chances are I'm going to have a 10' pole and be exploring with it on the grounds of 'better it than my hands'. If it didn't eat the 10' pole, then maybe we'll try touching it with my hands. Granted, not every dungeon is of the sort where there are planned traps. Unless I know my DM is the sort that springs lethal death traps on you in well trafficed corridors, I'm not going to always engage in that meticulous of exploration. I think my first post at EnWorld was on that subject. But if traps makes sense for the dungeon, don't 10' poles make sense as well? [/QUOTE]
