Disarming chests with traps safefully w/o a thief?

Kaneida · 03-09-2002, 11:39 AM

What if I decide to go thru a game solo as a Ranger or Fighter (they have 3 and 4 weapon slots vs. 2 for thieves; and can wield 2HSwords), therefore I don't want company including any thieves.

My dilemna is: How can I safefully remove a trap from a treasure chest or box without using a thief? I like them but I find them weak. They can't wield 2HSwords (until you get the "use any item" abiity) and they only are allowed to carry 2 weapons at a time. And of course they have a lower THACO than fighters. And I like to be recognized as a ELVEN RANGER. Yeah! It's the bragging thing.

Is there a way I can make an item that can remove booby trapped treasure chests with the IEEP item editor? I have the editor but I don't know how it can be achieved.

Any comments would be most appreciated. Thanks for your replies.

There's one way I know of to remove traps from chests w/o a thief, and thats to just open them. Granted the trap will go off but a strong fighter should be able to just absorb the damage.

I agree with AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe. You just take the pain then rest

Get yourself the cloak of mirroring for trap removal work and most of them aren't a problem anyway. [img]smile.gif[/img]
