'''Description:''' You know how locks work and can open them without using the original key. Attempting an Open Lock check without a set of thieves tools imposes a -2 circumstance penalty on the check, even if a simple tool is employed. If you use masterwork thieves' tools, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on the check.

'''Check:''' The DC for opening a lock varies from 20 to 40, depending on the quality of the lock, as given on the table below.

'''Total Success:''' You can study the lock, figure out how it works, and lock it again without any check after opening it.

'''Total Failure:''' You break the tools you were using to pick the lock.
