    Hey, quick question regarding hidden passages. I accidentally found two in the bandit leader room of the moathouse without conducting a concentrated search.
    I had to load to a save before this point, and when I tried to discover the passages again, I found that I couldn't whether performing a search or not. What gives? If I had a high enough search check to find it in the first place, shouldn't I be able to find it again? Is search necessary for finding hidden passages/chests, or is the skill mostly just for traps?
    Thanks for the help.

    Search uses a skill check. Maybe you failed the 2nd time around? It's not automatic, it should be your skill ranks and bonuses vs a DC check. At least in the P&P veriosn it is. Maybe Troika uses another formula, but I doubt it.
