potions, salves, and other alchemical items to be created from different ingredients --

Upgrade Category: B |
Associated Attributes:
Dexterity, Dexterity, Intuition
Description:
This is the mainstay of the burglar's craft. To open a lock without the right key, a
character will usually need an appropriate tool, such as a lockpick, hair pin, or small
knife. Picking a lock that has been combined with a trap will not cause the trap to be
triggered. If the talent test fails, the lockpick or the improvised tool will usually
be used up and the character will experience "shaky hands" for five combat rounds. This
status effect will make further lock picking attempts more difficult. Hair pins and
lockpicks are expended during use and must be activated via the quickslot bar. If no
tool is used, the talent test is subject to a handicap of -10.
