Picking Locks

2021-12-29T21:15:21Z

CANDIDE: /* Resources */

'''Picking Locks''' is a skill used to open [[Lock difficulty|locks]] with [[lockpick]]s. Most often, this skill is used on [[Box (treasure)|box]]es found in the [[treasure system]], though there are a few locked doors and such that require the use of the skill to open. When used with boxes, it is advised that the character also train in [[Disarm Traps]], as many boxes are [[trap]]ped and many traps will kill an unaware or incapable character who attempts to pick a lock on a trapped box.
{{skill
| Bardranks = 2 || Bardcost = 2/1
| Clericranks = 2 || Clericcost = 2/4
| Empathranks = 2 || Empathcost = 2/4
| Monkranks = 2 || Monkcost = 3/3
| Paladinranks = 2 || Paladincost = 2/4
| Rangerranks = 2 || Rangercost = 2/3
| Rogueranks = 3 || Roguecost = 1/1
| Sorcererranks = 2 || Sorcerercost = 2/4
| Warriorranks = 2 || Warriorcost = 2/3
| Wizardranks = 2 || Wizardcost = 2/4
|}}

Success in picking a lock is based on the following formula:

{{Equation box|'''Endroll {{=}} ([Picking Locks Skill + Dexterity Bonus] * Pick modifier) - lock difficulty + d100(Open)'''}}

Other factors that help include [[Locklore]], the lockpick bonus, open rolls, and "modding down". Wounds, not enough skill for the used lockpick, and fumbles hurt picking attempts. Modding down occurs when a locksmith spots a lock, but fails to unlock it. There is a short time window where the locksmith has a better chance to open that lock, since he is focusing in on the size of the lock. Each subsequent lock spotting adds to bonus from the previous lock spotting. Stance does not factor in while picking locks.

[[Roundtime]] in picking a lock has a base of 20 seconds. If the lock is picked with a 150+ endroll, 10 seconds is deducted. If it's picked with a 200+ endroll, the roundtime is negated. These roundtimes are reduced if the picker has the [[Lockmastery]] guild skill, down to 5 seconds as a maximum at mastery. Fumbles still result in 20 seconds of roundtime. Roundtime can also be reduced with [[Celerity (506)]].

Example, 44 ranks of picking locks, 14 dexterity bonus, using a Veniom lockpick, on a -235 lock, with a 56 roll:

:((144 + 14) * 2.2) -235 + 56 = 169 (10 second Roundtime)

:An endroll of 81-100 will sense the difficulty of the lock and reduce it by 5 for subsequent attempts. This modification stacks if repeated senses are made.
:An endroll of 61-80 will result in a feeling that the lock is within your skill.
:An endroll of 60 or less will lead to a hidden roll to determine whether the pick is damaged or broken.
:A roll of 1 is always a fumble and a possibility to break a pick, even if it would have produced an endroll of over 100.
:A roll more than 100 is an open roll.

== PICKLOCK (verb) ==
The '''PICKLOCK''' verb is used to open locked boxes, as described above.
<pre{{log2}}>
s>picklock my str
You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a competent attempt (d100=61).
You struggle with the strongbox. As you do, you get a sense that the strongbox has a moderately well-crafted lock (-435 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!
Roundtime: 10 sec.

Calm and sleep conditions on group members are removed with guaranteed success. Stun, immobility, and web effects are removed at a base rate of 90%, -3% per second remaining in the effect's duration, +3% based on Mental Lore, Telepathy ranks on a summation scale, seed 1. The minimum rate is 10%.

}}I announced this late last night in the Duskruin Arena topic and it occurs to me that I should probably post it over here as well, or at least point interested peoples (that's you!) in the right direction. The TL;DR version:

* There's a new runestaff script, yay! It's debut venue is the upcoming Duskruin Arena. More yay!
* It is a mechanical, combat oriented script with special [[flare]]s and stuff. But you can [[enchant]] it. YAY!
* It is tiered, and it also introduces its own version of bonding called Affinity. Until it likes you it can be a little mean to you. Give it time, it will come around.
* Baseline, it comes with a defensive type flare that grants a temp Combat Maneuver Ranks enhancive effect. Inspired by Bubble Flares.
* Offensive flares available at Tier 2 if it stick likes you enough (a lot, it has to like you a lot). You know how it was mean to you before? Well now it's mean to the poor, poor things you go hunt with it. It's the circle of life, or something.
* When it's fully unlocked and it really, really likes you it gains a 1x/day Adrenal Surge(ish) ability what will fix popped muscles, break stuns, webs, binds, and get you to your feet if prone.

==ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT==

I'm pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new runestaff script at Duskruin Arena! As it is a new script and its debut venue will operate without live merchant interaction, I thought it best to lay things out so that people could make an informed decision with their hard earned [[bloodscrip]].

Some of you may be familiar with example of my other work, specifically Veola's and Voln Armor. This isn't anything like that, except for the fact that the script does a lot and is pretty complicated. What I'm saying is, go get a snack and maybe something to drink, because this is going to be long. I'll wait.... Okay!

The functionality of the script can be broken down into three basic categories: AFFINITY, BACKLASH, and FLARES. This is also a tiered script with 4 Tier levels including off-the-shelf(OTS), with additional benefits provided at each tier.

==AFFINITY==
A custom sort of attunement and bonding that effects the benefits and penalties conferred by the runestaff. The first successful hit* against a like level foe* while wielding the runestaff will result in the staff 'attuning' to the wielder. For lack of a better term, that person is then the owner of the runestaff.

Once the runestaff has attuned, Affinity points begin to accrue when further successful hits against like level foes are landed while wielding the runestaff, where one hit equals one point. There are five ranks in total: (Analyze messaging is in parenthesis.)

'''*Level 1: 1-199 points''' :(The _____ runestaff shares a partial Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 6 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.)

'''*Level 2: 200-999 points''' :(The _____ runestaff shares a moderate Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 7 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.)

'''*Level 3: 1000-2999 points''' :(The _____runestaff shares a considerable Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 8 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.)

'''*Level 4: 3000-9999 points:''' :(unknown)

'''*Level 5: 10000 points''' :(The _____ runestaff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.")

Affinity can be worked off, and works in essentially the exact same way as gaining it does only in reverse. If a successful hit is landed against a like level foe by anyone other than the current owner then an Affinity point will be lost instead of gained. Affinity would only begin to accrue again once all the Affinity for the previous owner had been worked off. It is not meant to be easy, but absolutely possible if some one wants to badly enough.

==BACKLASH==
Until such a time that a full Affinity is shared between a runestaff and its owner, there will exist a small chance for backlashes to occur. As Affinity levels are gained the likelihood of these backlashes occurring decreases until being eliminated completely at full Affinity. The Backlash timer fires every 1 1/2 minutes while the runestaff is held. The base chance for a Backlash to occur is 4% at Affinity level 1 and decreases 1% per Affinity level gained.

Fine Print: Backlashes are much more likely to occur when the runestaff if being wielded by someone other than its current owner.

There are three distinct types of Backlashes that can occur:

*'''Pain''': 5-10 second stun

''Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. Instantly, each nerve and fiber within your being is alight with incandescent pain. Moments stretch into eternity, until a final wave of unbearable suffering crashes over you and leaves you reeling and stunned!

*'''Shock''': Nervous System Damage

''Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. A subtle, almost electric, force ripples through you, the current awakening a vague tingling within. Building rapidly, the faint tingling gives way to intense, wracking convulsions that subside only after the build up is released in a jarring explosion within your very nervous system.

*'''Paralyze''': 5-10 second immobilization

''Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. In response, a powerful discordance emerges from somewhere deep within your core and permeates every cell. Suddenly a stranger to your own body, you are quickly overwhelmed and are rendered unable to move!

==FLARES==

Two basic flare types, one the 'baseline' defensive flare available on Tier 1(OTS) runestaffs, and the second an offensive flare that is only available on Tier 2 and above runestaffs that share a full Affinity with their wielder.

*'''Muscle Memory Flare''':

Grants a brief Combat Maneuver ranks enhancive benefit. Baseline chance for flare to trigger is 20%, with each unlocked Tier providing an additional 5%. Baseline benefit is +5 CM Ranks at Affinity level 1, +6 at Affinity level 2, +7 at Affinity level 3, +8 at Affinity level 4, and +10 at Affinity level 5.

*'''Misery Unleashed Flare''':

Offensive flare that essentially redirects the Backlash effects towards foes. The standard flare rate formula is used to determine if a flare will occur, and then a second roll is used to determine which flare effect will be used with some flares being more likely to occur.

:*'''Pain''' 70% | Random Impact Criticals

:''Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash a wave unmitigated pain upon the object of their wrath.

:*'''Paralyze''' 20% | 6-12 seconds RT

:''Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash an overpowering cacophony of sensation upon the object of their wrath and render <it> unable to move!

:*'''Shock''' 10% | Electrical Criticals to the dome

:''Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach $X1, they unleash a powerful surge of electrical current upon the object of their wrath!

Additionally, fully unlocked (Tier 4) runestaffs gain the benefit of a 1x/day Adrenal Surge(ish) effect. This effect will ease 'popped' muscles, break webs, stuns, and binds, and return you to your feet.

==VERBS==

*'''Clench''': Availability = Tier 1

''Gripping your <runestaff> firmly in hand, a powerful tingling sensation travels up the length of your arm. At first only mildly painful, the pins and needles penetrate deeper into your flesh, forcing you to summon all your willpower to maintain your hold on the <runestaff>."

*'''Touch''': Availability = Tier 1

''No sooner than your fingers graze the surface of your <runestaff>, is your mind filled with hazy fragments of memory both foreign and familiar. One memory bleeds into the next, boundaries lost and meaningless. Gradually they begin to fade and allow your mind to still.

*'''Stare''': Availability = Tier 2

''Chaos, in the form of swirling red, black, and white motes of light, momentarily occludes your vision. The kaleidoscope of color fades in and out of focus, each hue embodying a raw, primal emotion that evokes a near visceral response, before your vision finally clears.

*'''Listen''': Availability = Tier 3

''Opening yourself to the full force of your <runestaff>, a distant and indecipherable whisper teases the dark corners of your mind. Powerful emotions -- rage, joy, sorrow, and love -- fill your consciousness as you realize you host fragments of a psyche not your own. Felt no less deeply for not being your own, the cacophony of feeling swirls within and rocks you to your core before quietly fading, leaving you your mind as your own once more.

*'''Berserk''': Availability = Tier 4 | 1x/day Adrenal Surge(ish) ability activator

So that, in a (very, very big) nutshell is it.

==VERBS==

*'''Clench''': Availability = Tier 1

''Gripping your <runestaff> firmly in hand, a powerful tingling sensation travels up the length of your arm. At first only mildly painful, the pins and needles penetrate deeper into your flesh, forcing you to summon all your willpower to maintain your hold on the <runestaff>."

*'''Touch''': Availability = Tier 1

''No sooner than your fingers graze the surface of your <runestaff>, is your mind filled with hazy fragments of memory both foreign and familiar. One memory bleeds into the next, boundaries lost and meaningless. Gradually they begin to fade and allow your mind to still.

*'''Stare''': Availability = Tier 2

''Chaos, in the form of swirling red, black, and white motes of light, momentarily occludes your vision. The kaleidoscope of color fades in and out of focus, each hue embodying a raw, primal emotion that evokes a near visceral response, before your vision finally clears.

*'''Listen''': Availability = Tier 3

''Opening yourself to the full force of your <runestaff>, a distant and indecipherable whisper teases the dark corners of your mind. Powerful emotions -- rage, joy, sorrow, and love -- fill your consciousness as you realize you host fragments of a psyche not your own. Felt no less deeply for not being your own, the cacophony of feeling swirls within and rocks you to your core before quietly fading, leaving you your mind as your own once more.

*'''Berserk''': Availability = Tier 4 | 1x/day Adrenal Surge(ish) ability activator

So that, in a (very, very big) nutshell is it.
