[QUOTE="Eye Tyrant, post: 1478191, member: 406"] Where my rationale comes from... Anyone can Spot as an untrained skill... Only Rogues can Search for a Trap with a DC higher then 10 (I think that's right, or that might be Track for Rangers)... I follow the logic a few posters have claimed... searching every 5' square is insane! So I figure Spot will allow said Rogue to notice anything fishy (like the singed marks above). At which point he can move to that area (5' square) and actively Search for the trap... If the trigger lies between the Rogue and the area the Rogue is going to investigate (they aren't always one and the same) then he would set said trap off... Otherwise he gets his Search check as normal. This seems feasible to me and allows for realism while speeding up game-play at the sametime (which is the real issue). Any other thoughts I should consider (other then this probably belongs in House-Rules). [/QUOTE]
