Thread Title : Question: Moldvay D&D Thieves abilities

In the Basic rules a first level thief has a 10% chance to find/remove traps.
All characters have a 1/6 chance of finding a trap.  ???

Do 1st level thieves just use the same 1/6 chance to find the trap and 10% as their chance to remove the trap?

I think its propably an oversight, but yeah, I'd use the 1/6 roll for finding the trap, and the thief skill for dismantling it

Yeah. They should've stuck a note in there saying that thieves should use the 1/6 chance for detecting traps until their F&RT skill is better than it.

Some people give the thief a second roll against his thief skill if he misses the 1/6 roll.

Every 1st level party needs a dwarf.
