Monsters will be attacking the party at the same time, so you often can't spare another member from the real fight for the 4-5 rounds it'll take to disarm the trap.Delaying a trap only makes the area safe for one round, as well. I don't see spending 4-5 rounds for a single round of respite from a trap as worthwhile in a lot of situations, and it certainly wouldn't have been much help in the encounter I used in my example.I did forget about the thieves tools, but that's still a +13 vs a DC of +22, which is only a 60% chance of passing. The chance of passing a 60% check four times in a row is only 13%, which I think is far from "okay".</blockquote>
