Well, I've never played a wizard, so I have no idea what sort of vitality
a beginning mage has (I'm assuming you did this at a lower level) but trap
disarm wouldn't work on barrels anyway. (I can only assume that you've not
played the rogue enough to find this out, so I think your comment about it
being the worst character a little premature on your part). They only work
on chests, and only part of the time (I'd say about 60%).  

And I gotta ask this: what do you mean by "top health"?  My wimpiest
characters have lost quite a bit of vitality when crashing through
exploding barrels, but NEVER have I experienced death because of them. 
Unless you were NOT really at "top health" I find this really hard to
believe.

And, btw, I do think trap disarm is shit.  But, so is item repair.  It
decreases the durability, so what's the fuckin' point. . .oh well, I guess
that's the game, what can ya do. . .
