[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 647888, member: 1134"] disagree most traps aren't powerful enough to kill a PC and they aren't meant to. If it was triggered because you blundered into it, the trap overcame you. Just as if a thief stole some of your money overcame you, he doesn't have to take everything including the gold filings in yout teeth to overcome you. Which to me is very much like giving xp for a blunderd into trap. You wake up in the moring and your bag of gold is gone. 500 xp for the eno:):):):)er with the rogue. It's just seems silly to me to get xp for an encoutner you blundered through and which actually overcame you. Now if you suspected a trap, and said the power of pelor/my spells/ my great fortitude/ my insane rage will protect me from these feeble traps, waha I kick the door in/charge down the corridor/shatter the symbols I'd be willing to give XP. You are taking action and overcoming the trap. Unkowing blundering into a trap to me is the very difintion of the trap overcoming you. I'd likely give bonus XP, the more knowingly, and the better handled the trap was.(the paladin stepping up to handle runes they suspect to be runes that inlfict a horrible disease, cause fear etc) [/QUOTE]
