They will only make the mistake of just opening a coffin with their bare hands once after a wight grabs ahold of them and LDs them.  Adventurers are heroes and deal with such extreme situations that I feel that the newer editions take out because it is hard on inexperienced players or players that have a world served to them under the warm blanket of CR.  These players, or DMs, don't realize that any action as an adventurer can and will eventually lead to death.  Just saying.</p></blockquote><p></p>
