[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7158672, member: 6803664"] You wouldn't have liked the results of that if I were your DM. A few times? It'd be treated as a joke. After that? Since finding traps is obviously very important to you, I'd give you what you want. So yes, you'd find traps. And more traps. And the DC for finding/disarming them would be really high. Eventually even consistently 1 more than whatever you just rolled. And the results would be 1e Save or Die. Some of them would be area effects as well - so as to kill your fellow players characters.:) If you want there to be traps everywhere.... And this would happen until you realized WHY specific things are trapped. It's not to play gotcha. It's because this is a game of words, words we're using to tell stories. "I search, I roll a __" is not sufficient to tell a story. Add the details, paint the scene for the rest of us. If you don't want to do that? Go play a video game where you can just push a search button. [/QUOTE]
