Lockpicking

Lockpicking covers not only the art of popping tumblers into position to open a treasure chest, but also the ability to remove the trap the treasure chest was rigged with in the process. Any adventurer with an eye for treasure would do well to invest in this skill.

Increase your skill in Lockpicking by successfully disabling traps and, well, picking locks. A high Lockpicking skill will improve your chances of obtaining a "gut feeling" when working on a lock or trap, and lessen the impact of failure when picking locks.

Traps plague many a hoard of treasure, and a wise purveyor of abandoned goods would do well to expect something terrible awaiting would-be takers in every chest. This passive ability line will help you improve your odds of safely neutralizing otherwise deadly traps, whether they are on a chest or not.
