If a rogue/bard fails badly at disarming a chest trap and sets it off, is the trap removed? Can lock picking then be attempted if the character lives long enough, even if he eventually dies from a DoT?
I tried to attempt this after setting off a trap last night, but I didn't think of trying it until it was too late. I died before I could try.

LDoN - Pick Lock AFTER chest trap set off?Follow
Traps in LDoN cannot be picked until AFTER a disarm has been done on it. Or at least so far that has been my experience. I have had groupmates set off the traps (while I was fighting...why not let the rogue do it is beyond me..). When I tried to pick the lock after trap was set off, it merely set the trap off again. I then got a cure curse and after disarming the trap could successfully pick the lock.
You must go in the Sense-Disarm-Pick route if the chest is trapped, AFAIK. You might be able to cut straight to picking an untrapped chest, but how would you know without sensing first? 
I do know that setting off a trap doesn't remove it. You can set off a trap multiple times while disarming, picking or beating on a chest.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
LDON Traps reset, so it is possible to set them off multiple times. My clc has the first set of spells to detect, disarm, and then open chest/boxes, and I have discovered that you can NOT disarm a trap unless you first detect it. You can skip the disarm part if your detect is successful and indicates that the chest is not trapped. Note that there are 3 different types of trap (mechanical - rogue/bard, cursed - clerical, and magical - casters) and you must have the matching ability to open the chest if trapped - clerical line will not disarm or open a mechanical trap in other words, only rogue/bard can.
BTW, most chests I have opened have fairly minor treasure - no drop potions for example, or a gem or such.

I've seen decent augs out of them, +12 hp aug the other day.
Thanks for the info! That's exactly what I wanted to know.
