Okay, I must be bad at maths then :p But why did the message box say I got hit by the basilish trap? At that time, I had 436 Int, more than enough to have avoided it altogether, but it triggered anyway. I had to rely and death cheating to keep my run going.

Ah, interesting because when SETTING a trap, if your INT is higher than 290 it treats it as 290. Explicitly. Apparently this was part of the standard Booby Trap when I created it, and at some point I decided to remove that restriction, so remmed it out. But it's not remmed out in the trap setting portion. I'll make it so, now. That's a super obscure oversight bug! You had only a 1 in 30 chance of detecting it with your INT being what it was, and no chance of ever detecting it if your INT was less than 300. Thank you!
