Both are part of Type function while Detection and Disarming seem more player character driven. With a Trap, Detection and Disarming will come into play only if the PP is high or the player rolls dice defeating the detection DC. I would order the events with the assumption that the trap will do what it is meant to do. However, I put the PP at the top and jump below if the player meets the condition for Detection.An Example; (adjusted)Dart Trap (Above Door/PP-14)(If PP14 is met I goto Detection and Disarming below)Trap (mechanical) This trap fires darts from the ceiling in front of the door when the door is opened a few inches. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Simple Trigger (Simple or Complex could set CR/XP values) Fires two dozen darts into the ten foot square area in front of the door. It automatically resets itself three times before it must be reloaded. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lethality Ranged weapon attack: +6 to hit, all targets in 10 ft. square in front of door. Hit: 4d4 + 4 piercing damage. (I would probably have this set CR/XP value)</li> </ul>DetectionA DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check in the hallway in front of the door reveals two dozen holes in the ceiling in the ten foot square area. A DC 10 Intelligence (Investigation) check of the door determined that the darts are triggered when a simple switch in the top of the door frame is released when the door is opened. A DC 17 (Investigation) check reveals enough information on the Trigger to give advantage when Disarming.A DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check from the back side of the door reveals the switch and triggering mechanism.DisarmingA DC 14 Thieve's Tool check to disarm the trap by using a blade or other thin object to keep the switch depressed. The switch (and trap) can be disarmed from the back side of the door by anyone deciding to do so.I suppose you could give traps Hit Dice to help calculate CR/XP.</blockquote>
