HSN WEEK (((3*7)^2)/0): DETECT verb

[theotherjohn]

By popular and long-running demand, you can now attempt to DETECT traps on boxes and such, instead of DISARMing them. The DETECT verb will only search for traps, not attempt to actually disarm one, so fewer worries about inadvertently setting one off that you've already checked.

The DISARM verb, of course, will still perform both functions as it always has.

Aaron's probably got the fastest turnaround time I've ever seen for a GM in taking and implementing player suggestions....

Now if only he'd implement my idea to spill over points on the last task over to the next rank...

true

It would stop me from cursing when I am doing 25 reps for that last 1 point.

Except DETECT is 100% useless.

I also like the title HSN Week Undefined

Maybe for you. It's nice to have when you're trying to figure out which chest it is that had the -480 opal scarab that you saw 15 minutes ago.

WTF is this?

[Wezas]

Maybe that will limit this:


Having discovered a trap on the strongbox you begin to carefully attempt to disarm it...

You feel like you've made a pathetic attempt.

There is a tiny flash from the keyhole and suddenly your entire body jerks from a massive electrical shock...
... 50 points of damage!
Powerful blast sends most of you up in smoke!
The powerful look leaves you.
The dim aura fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 16 mins...

* You were just vaporized!

* You just bit the dust!

I know I'll use it with my warrior so if I run across a box that has no trap I can just bash it for reps vice holding on to it waiting to find a locksmith.

Detect is the same as disarm, it just won't actually disarm the box if you do it multiple times. It's nothing special/good/useful, except in Edaarin's case because he's a shitty locksmith.
