The other thing about players describing how and where their characters search is the placement of traps matters more.

Yeah, you wouldn’t be able to just “solve” a trap by rolling. Having players asking “can i search for traps” can get annoying after the 10th time.

Yes, I like how Old School Essentials made the thief skill for find traps only apply to small mechanisms like a poison needle trap that can be built into locks and chests.
