#18883, "Infiltrate"


          

You step out of the shadows.
You focus intently upon a wooden door, and the lock just happens to pop open.


INFILTRATE
Syntax: infiltrate <door|window|container>
infiltrate <direction>

A few thieves have learn to manipulate the tumblers of locks with their very
minds, willing them into an open position. This can be more precise than
conventional means of picking locks, can be done from concealment, and
requires no physical tools.

Knowledge of Advanced Picklock assists this skill as well.

Shouldn't I be staying in the shadows? And can you check if it's working correctly with Advanced Picklock? It didn't seem to get more options when I trained in advanced picklock.

If you know improved hide, it's possible, yes.

Yes, it's working fine. You don't get all of the options of advanced picklock with infiltrate, but you get a larger set.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

...it goes (not accounting for duergar or locksmith).

Pick Lock
Infiltrate
Infiltrate with Adv Picklock
Pick Lock with Adv Picklock

Just the wording of "This can be more precise than conventional means of picking locks" seems off in that regard if you combine advanced picklock.

Thanks!
