Talk:Popping boxes
The table seems to be off on the gas cloud trap. I just set one off with the Disarm spell: "Looking closely into the keyhole of the lock, you spy a small vial of liquid and a tiny hammer device which seems poised to shatter it if the lock is tampered with." followed by "Now to isolate the offending mechanism and disable it...Uh oh! You hear what sounds like a vial being shattered from inside the lock mechanism. You jump back from the chest as a cloud of vapors begins to pour from its seams!"

- You're right. If I'm reading that table correctly, it should be 'sometimes'. I've definitely set off my fair share with 408. DOUG (talk) 02:08, 26 March 2015 (CDT)
- Thank you all for the first discussion on an article that is near and dear to my heart. As far as what the Table says (the most useful part of the entire page, IMO), it IS subjective, but No means No. I'll go ahead and change this right away. Also, I had Kaldonis pick up manual picking skill for about 18+ months, and will soon be dropping it. That means I'll go back to poppin' and lockin', lookin' for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine (i.e. y'all gonna die!). DAID (talk) 01:01, 3 April 2015 (CDT)
- Edit is done. I opted to keep the background color white, assuming my double-dagger footnote is right. It could be set off but, besides justice status is it dangerous? I think I got lazy at some point, and purposely set off this trap outside town because it was harmless. 408 trigger might differ from 407 though, so putting it in pink may be relevant. More info?

I'm curious where this line comes from >> Very poor attempts or fumbles sometimes result in no messaging at all << There is only one known case where messaging will not occur as far as I know. When a trap is magically disarmed, but the roll indicates that the trap would have been triggered, the box will not vibrate. That line will be skipped. I believe someone registered it in the bug database (but of course, cannot confirm). I can tell you by direct experience, however, that it does happen in those conditions. I've never seen it happen in any other condition, however, with all the boxes I've popped. DOUG (talk) 01:20, 3 April 2015 (CDT)
- I think the no messaging has happened to me on plated boxes and needles. I'll have to do a log search to see, but I pop 30-100 boxes a week, so that should be a fun exercise. VANKRASN39 (talk) 13:45, 3 April 2015 (CDT)
