[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8442455, member: 29398"] Yeah, I'm with [USER=6779196]@Charlaquin[/USER] and [USER=97077]@iserith[/USER] on this bit at least: I too want a bit more detail and-or granularity around what's being done other than just "I check for traps". I'm fine if, through going through all the details a few times at low level, they come up with a reasonable SOP for use as that campaign goes along. After that, all they have to do is tell me they're using their SOP (here, the code-word is "We thief over it") and we're gold: it has the granularity built in, and saying one phrase covers it all. That said, there's inevitably going to be times when the SOP doesn't cover the specific instance they're dealing with. For example, if their SOP for chests covers needle traps in the lock and traps based on lifting/removing the lid but doesn't cover (because they never considered) traps that trigger if the chest is emptied or moved, then unless they say they're looking for such things this time they'll set it off. After that, they'll (I hope!) add checking for that type of trap to their SOP. Trial and error. [/QUOTE]
