[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 2070220, member: 5890"] I think they would. I think the group would then blame you for a crappy roleplaying session where all they got to do was roll a d20 50 times. Just like if you made them meticulously account for all their food - "You've all got enough food for the trip, unless anyone is already at their maximum carrying capacity" makes for a better game IMO. Or if they encounter a non-intelligent foe that they can hurt, but that can't hurt them. "Just cross off 40 adamantine arrows, and the golem trapped in the small smooth-walled room is dead" is better than making them roll for each and every shot. "Just take 20 searching for the trap" is far superior to making each and every roll. Finally - if the Pc's have defeated every trap, and killed every monster, when they say "we give the complex another check to make sure we get everything", I'm going to let them find _everything_ that they can possibly find without putting themselves in direct danger (like - they're not going to find stuff hidden under lava without actually working through it).
