You are prepared to do the skill. You swing your foot heavily, and *SLAM* it against box! A burst of acid shoots at you from the box!! I guess by 'detect trap' they meant you 'detect' it by having it explode in your face. I've trained detect traps to maximum every level, and I have avoided exactly ONE trap. Same with pick locks, tried at least 50 doors, gates, etcetera by now, probably alot more than that. Only ever found a handful that I can actually pick with 65 skill even.. one in Amphitheatre, a couple in Catfolk tree. What a pointless skill progression if it's so useless until the very elite levels. Even newbie areas locks are too complex. THINK before you CODE!
