Hi!

I have a couple of characters that have certain abilities, but they are grayed out and they cannot use them for some reason. My PC is a fighter/thief, but she cannot stealth or lockpick. In the case of Garrick, the bard, he supposedly can cast spells, he has magic missile and another spell I cannot remember, however, the buttons of these spells are also gray. They can be pushed, but nothing happens. Where is the problem?

Also, since I'm at it, is there a way for disabling traps? It's kind of pointless to find a trap if you still have to trigger it to pass.

Thanks!

It's most likely because you wear "wrong" kind of armor. They can only use this abilities (thieving abilities and casting) in certain types of armors. I think in leather ones and elven mails. If you want to wear stronger types of armors you have to take them down when you want to perform desired action.
Or there is some mod that allows it with penalties if you want to use it.

You can disable trap by using thievery button (the eye-mask one). It's used for disabling traps, opening locks and stealing.

It will be your armor in both cases, thieves can only wear leather armor.
Once you find a trap. click on the unlock icon & the mouse will turn to a trap to disable it.
Something else that I learned from this very forum:

Your thief will only search for traps once per round. Therefore, if you push on too quickly they may still trigger traps. When you have your find traps on, I'd recommend slow movement to allow the find trap to work efficiently.
