[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8296626, member: 6795602"] Can't say I follow. From your limited knowledge perspective there could be traps. Therefore, searching for them is nearly always skilled play (unless there's some intense clock pressure or hefty resource drain that might change the calculus). Losing a little bit of torch light or 30 minutes of rations is trivial in most scenarios. The only time searching for traps in this context is clearly not skilled play is if you know there aren't traps or that it's extremely likely there aren't traps. That you are making this counter-argument tells me you don't understand my objection - because I fully agree with this. My comment shouldn't be read to insinuate that the situation must be judged on perfect knowledge when you only have limited. That's not what it was about. It's for the cases you do know what you are doing will be sufficient and waste resources on overkill. That's why fireballing a bunch of orcs after trapping them in a tar pit is unskilled play. I'm not sure why you aren't readily agreeing with this? [/QUOTE]
