Someone else thinks it takes expending resources. I would say that the paladins actions up to the trap are expending resources. Since those resources gained him the abilities he has, he survived the traps. Had he not been expending the resources, he would have been delt some damage by those traps he encountered. The only offical rules about traps not earning XP is "A trap never discovered or never bypassed was not encountered (and hence grants no XP award). The Paladin did encounter the traps.And you're just being silly. The Paladin does need to expend resources after surviving the trap. The damage won't sneak up on him. If a barbarian is dealt damage, and uses a cure light wounds potion, he doesn't have to use a cure lights potion ever again. IF a Cleric heals a comrade, does it mean he can never heal? No its silly. Just as you are being. If a fighter swings his sword at a monster and kills it in one plow he will get XP (assuming the CR was high enough). He didn't expened the use of his sword, he can still use it. He used the resorce of the sword, but its still available.</blockquote>
