Summary0008416: Give Industrial Revolution characters the ability to disarm traps
Description+1 scouting is nice, but I'm not going to pick this class for that ability. I just tried to take on a Lieutenant with a spike infestation for the climb and that was not fun

Being able to disarm traps sounds like it would be overpowered.

I'd suggest temporarily switching to a medieval character (high HP and halved melee damage) or a small neutral skelebot.

I don't think it'd be OP since traps are somewhat infrequent. I think it'd be a fun/unique ability that would follow with the character theme.

The room wasn't so much an issue - I got through it eventually - the situation just inspired the thought for the feature since IR chars don't really have much going for them ability-wise

Maybe just make them destructible with some insanely high level of HP, so it isn't reasonable to clear them out unless you get stuck somewhere?

I'd support that
