This is one perception check I would not want to fail.
The 20-pound spiked boulder was rigged to swing at head-level with just a trip of a thin wire — a military-like booby trap set on a popular Utah canyon trail.
Look at the spikes on that thing!

Pshaw. CR 1 tops.
Spiky Ball.
XP 400
Type mechanical; Perception DC 20; Disable Device DC 15
EFFECTS Trigger touch; Reset manual
Effect Atk +15 melee (2d6).
U.S. Forest Service Officer James Schoeffler... Having had previous military hazardous device detection training, Schoeffler immediately knew it was a threat.... the booby traps could have been overlooked by everyone except a military-trained officer like Schoeffler... he disabled the traps after taking photos and video of the site.
And Disable Device isn't even a ranger class skill!

I'd kinda like to hear what the suspects have to say for themselves.
Two men arrested over the weekend on suspicion of misdemeanor reckless endangerment told authorities the traps were intended for wildlife, but investigators don't believe the story.
Third paragraph.

I guess what I meant was that I'd like to hang out with them years from now in a bar and find out why they really put it up.

I'm guessing the real answer isn't nearly as interesting as you think it might be.

Uh-huh-huh-huh....hey, Beavis. You know what would be cool? If we put up a bunch of traps and stuff, and caught some dudes in them. Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh...

Here's another RL perception check. Unfortunately cell phone use adds a -5 modifier to your perception and she failed.
Luckily for her it was a 19ft fall so she only took 1d6 damage from the fall.

I'm pretty sure the DC for that one is high enough that you'll want a dwarf along.

21 more feet and she might have been crippled for life.

Damn, that poor kid was lucky. Looks like the sidewalk collapsed right under her feet.

TEXTING applies a -20 circumstance penalty to Perception checks.
Higher than that, I think. There's this story from a couple of years ago, and if I remember the original report correctly, she was walking with a friend. (+2 Aid another bonus.)
