I know a thief can't disarm traps in heavy armor, but can he DETECT them in heavier then leather. As in Bg2?

As far as I know theiving skills can only be used with studded leather or less.

My fighter/Thief is detecting traps while wearing plate armor (then changes into studded lether+2 to actually remove them). You can detect traps in any armor. Can't wait to find some elven chainmail.

All the Elven Chain mail you could ever want you will find once you have gone to the Severd Hand. hehe . My Favorite chain mail the Mail of Life, comes in handy.

I found this last night, but isn't it plate mail? Or is there another item I haven't found yet.

I don't remember a chainmail of life either, but I do remember some other kind of armor of life. The chainmail I gave my theif the chainmail that adds +1 to dex (the +1 almost made up for the loss in theiving skill with chinmail on instead of leather), I won't say where you get it because it is a spoiler, but just complete every quest you can in the hand before leaving (except the one that requires animal, water, and seeds, because that cannot be completed while there). I gave chainmail +2 to my bard, it is cool to cast spells and have good armor. Chainmail +2 is the AC equivilent of plate mail.

the mail of life is technically chainmail, but it looks like plate mail.
chainmail +2 on a bard casting spells? must be elvin chain
