Instead of using the lock picks or lockpick skill, you also have the option to use the crowbar (use from back pack, not from hands). lock picks will give you a 10 % bonus chance. So if you have lockpick at 91, you will have a 11% chance to make it.

When you have passed the 'stealth check' there is a lockpick roll check to open the locker itself. Then there is something about tile distance between guards and the locker that I didn't fully understand, but I think you shouldn't attempt to open the locker while a guard is within 6 hexes of it. You also need to have Lockpick at least 91 and either Steal at least 50 or have the thief perk. Not a roll check, you just have to have a minimum of 101 Sneak skill. Then there is another Sneak check of 101. If you have the thief perk, the modifier will always be -80, no matter what armor you are wearing. That leaves you with a 25% chance of passing the roll check.

IE your sneak skill is 105 and you are wearing no armor (or a robe), so you remove 80 from your sneak skill.

Take your skill, minus 80 to 105 (modifier depends on what armor you are wearing), and what you are left with is the percentage chance you have of passing. Passing the stealth check requires the following:įirst pass a Sneak roll check. You have to be sneaking at the time or you won't even be given the chance to pass it. Assuming the guards are still around, if you are tampering with the locker in any way there will be a 'stealth check' first.
