Capizzio gets to work

 

[Leif]

Capizzio finds no traps on the cabinet. He is not successful opening the lock, either. OOC: By, "gets to work," do you mean that Capizzio "takes 20?"

Manny takes a look at the cabinet and lock as well.

OOC:
Can you take 20 on Search for Traps? Is it only the attempt to Disable a trap once found that sets it off? I'd almost rule that you have to roll your search for this one, as a failure might set it off. Of course, that would depend on what the trap is set to catch, I guess. Just rambling . . .

I keep forgetting that you can take a 20 on open locks if you are not in a hurry. I rolled too low so, capizzio did not open the lock as well as not see that falling cieling trap

If i undeerstand things right, no you cannot take a 20 on search for traps because yu can fail with very negetive results. i think you cantake a 10, much like climbing.

 

[Leif]

OOC: I really don't see, for most characters, how taking 10 on a trap search is much different from just intentionally springing the trap.

IC: Manny and Capizzio find no traps.

Re: OOC
I nevver understood the difference either. first you have to find one, then you can spring it, right?

In first ed you could buy a 10 foot pose for the sole purpose of springing traps at low levedl.

 

[Leif]

OOC: What? You think that 10-foot poles no longer exist because the edition changed? You must live in a very strange world, DeWar.

 

[Scott DeWar]

well, the phb in 2 ed, 3.0 ed and 3.5 ed all seem to lack an entry for 'pole, 10 foot' I must say this though, and that is i would prefer an 11 foot pole for those things you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pose.

 

[Leif]

LAST OOC here for awile, I hope:

Let's all take our ten foot poles and stick them up DeWar's backside and maybe he'll take the hint to keep exploring the dungeon?



(If you listen very carefully, you'll hear the sound of the pot calling the kettle black, too!)

IC post

With effort Capizzio works the lock, but to no avail. finally he lets humility get the better of him.

"i can't seem to get it. Manny, care to take a try? I might have been in too much of a hurry."
