Hah, I should have. I do remember letting him search first once and being petty about it. "Oh, you got a 12? A whole twelve? Woowwwww. I'm going to take 10 and get a, let's see- twenty-two. Would be a 27 if only I had some sort of magical equipment boost"

(For those of you who don't remember, "take 10" was a 3e rule where you can opt to treat the roll as if you'd rolled a 10, so long as you're not in immediate danger. https://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/usingSkills.htm )

edit: fixed typo that reversed meaning
