[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8575162, member: 6877472"] This is a stupid one, but my players keep falling for it. In the 3e DMG, there's a trap listed as "contact poison smeared on a doorknob". Surely, said I, in my innocence, nobody is going to fall for this! So as a lark, I had the Hobgoblin Chieftain use that to protect his treasure room. The Rogue didn't even search for traps. One campaign later, I decided, for fun, let's do it again. The Rogue FAILED to notice the easily spotted trap. This started to become a running gag. The third time, and I don't even know how they knew, but my roommate suddenly stopped as he was about to open a door. "Hey, you know my armor has gauntlets, right?" "Sure do." He opens the door. Half an hour later, the party is fleeing enemies, and they get to the door. The Rogue says "I close the door!" (Cue a shot of my roommate giving the Big No in slow motion). [/QUOTE]
