[QUOTE="Asisreo, post: 8376516, member: 7019027"] Then they are poorly designed traps. I don't cater the world to my players. People don't suddenly stop using a lock because there's an expert lockpicker in town. Once I create something, its based off of the world and the story I'm telling. I still have some DC 10 checks in my high level adventures and I don't know if it will be useless or not. Because rogues die, wizards can get wish penalties, and fighters can be frightened I don't make assumptions. Those DM's did those clerics a disservice. Suddenly ambush-type creatures don't ambush anymore because the cleric is too sharp? Then what's the point of making your cleric sharp? The whole point [I]was[/I] to notice stuff but since the DM is upset that the players protected themselves, he threw up his hands and said screw it. Its petty and a hate when DMs do that. Besides, high Perception doesn't beat ambushes and traps for the whole group, it just has the cleric notice those things that are off in the environment. He sees an odd glare in his path but he has to look closer to determine if its a shard of glass or a tripwire. [/QUOTE]
