How do you disarm a trap?

Kell Swiftsword · 11-05-2002, 08:42 PM

I multiclassed my ranger to a ranger/rogue so I could pick locks and disarm traps. Picking locks is no problem, but the disarm trap icon in the radial menu is faded out, so it won't work. Am I doing something wrong, or is disarming traps a level or a feat thing? Very frustrating!

you need to put points into the disable trap skill. That should help.

As well as some points in "Search", else you wouldn't even know there's a trap out there if you're standing right next to it.

Or else bring along the ever-annoying Tomi [img]smile.gif[/img]

Or take high CON and just walk over them. The daze ones are evil though...

IIRC, the bard RPC will also notice traps, but I don't think she disarms them. Also the Pixie familiar is great with them.

Does the pixie Disarm and do all of the thief things?

Yep, the Pixie basically is a thief - nice thing is you can possess her and do all the disarming yourself if you want. And she seems to manage to get to locks better than Tomi does (she's smaller and fits in easier) - the most annoying thing is Tomi saying "I can pick that open easy" and then standing around like a dolt doing nothing.
