Faster search/disable?

. The only side effect of this would be faster gameplay and happier players. There is literally no downside to speeding it up.

Therefore it must never be done, and in fact the animation must be doubled. We can't have faster gameplay and happy players! That's just crazy talk!

/sarcasm for the dense.

for the record, they can cut the time to perform a bard song, but not search?

in pnp search detects the trap, immediately

when you spend X time, you get +10 or +20, depending the time you spend

You're mixing up take 10, take 20 and I don't even know what else.

This is one of the few things I don't disagree with in the game. Search is a full-round action (6 seconds), and disabling a trap takes 2d4 rounds (12 -48 seconds), so the game is actually a bit generous on disabling. They do need to implement this rule though:

A dwarf, even one who is not a rogue, can use the Search skill to find a difficult trap (one with a DC higher than 20) if the trap is built into or out of stone.

I also think that it should incorporate a Concentration check when you take damage while searching or disabling.
