:Level factors in as well, so at max level the pet should have 56% chance of resisting. I'm not 100% sure that displacing a pet into a trap always activates the trap though. My preferred method is to build a boulder fort around the trap and whistle him in; that way he can't move and will be affected by the trap every turn he gets. He shouldn't be resisting perfectly so that should be able to get him -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 14:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Polymorph Trap

I have been trying for a few thousand turns to displace my pet herzou onto a Polymorph trap, hopefully to change it into something faster and not inediate, using a magic whistle to position it. Every time I get it to step onto the trap, there is no effect; every time I step onto the trap, my magic resistance blocks it, which proves there's nothing wrong with the trap itself. According to the formula on the Magic resistance (monster) page, the herzou should only have about a 50% chance of resisting but mine has had perfect evasion. It's not wearing (or wielding) anything that would protect it. Am I missing something? --FJH 03:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Level factors in as well, so at max level the pet should have 56% chance of resisting. I'm not 100% sure that displacing a pet into a trap always activates the trap though.
