	Success in picking a lock is based on the following formula:		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)'''}}		{{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.
