[QUOTE="Lakesidefantasy, post: 9271157, member: 6682043"] Sorry if this is out of place but I like to skip the discussion before I answer one of these kinds of questions so as not to be influenced by my peers. I would call for a roll with disadvantage to pick the lock due to the bulky nature of the gauntlets. However, if there is no pressure to get this done quickly, I would not call for the roll because they're just going to keep trying until they succeed and the gauntlets will prevent the injection of poison. My concern is they would just wear gauntlets all the time now. Fine, but they're going to be picking locks and finding traps at disadvantage. Maybe they'll only put on the gauntlets when they're dealing with chests. Fine, especially if a lot of chests are trapped with poison needles, but the gauntlets aren't going to save them from poison gas. 😈 I mean, how often do they run into poison needles traps? If it's common then that's boring and maybe we should consider other kinds of traps. If it is rare then no problem because it's not likely that this exploit will undermine the game. [/QUOTE]
