[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5318775, member: 79335"] [b]Theivery vs. Perception[/b] Early on in my game, we determined that you can use Theivery in place of Perception to locate traps, but only if you were trained in Theivery. The arguement being that you would know where to look and what you were looking for, therefore you could focus your efforts. The arguement that a player with a high perception might spot the trap, but not recognize it is compelling, and initially I was ready to adopt a lower DC for Theivery into the house rules. But after considering it a bit more, I realize that adventureres are really paranoid. It comes with the job for any adventurer living all the way to 1st level, and especially those living beyond 1st. It just gets really tiring rollplaying that all the time. So to sum it up. I think being trained in Theivery should let you use that in place of a perception check, but if the trap doesn't look like a trap, then it is a higher DC to spot trap. [/QUOTE]
