Awareness and finding traps

So at the end of the Awareness Talent description, it says
If the adept possess the Disarm Trap talent or skill, he may use this to find traps and wards.


So am I to take it that if you don't have the disarm trap talent, you can't spot traps?

thanks

There’s always a standard Perception test.

Who needs to spot traps? We have a Swordmaster with Danger Sense :mrgreen:

That is the RaW. Of course a GM is permitted to improvise. If a person without Disarm Traps made an awareness or perception test that had 2 or 3 successes against the traps detection difficulty, I might have them spot something as being not right.

so been thinking about it and these traps were designed to be used against the horrors so I can see why regular untrained adepts with awareness wouldn't know what to look for
