Lockpicking

[AestheticDeath]

Looking for solid information on what max locks and traps someone with 202 ranks in disarming and picking, and 403, 404 can get.

IF you have 202 in either, with lore, please include your dex modifier and you max lock/trap.

Thanks...

Well, here's the formula's that I have (I don't know if the lore bonus formula is up to date, though):

Max Lock = (lockpick skill + wisdom bonus + lore bonus) * (lockpick modifier)

Lock Lore Bonus = Level/2 + Skill Bonus/10 + (Dex Bonus + Wisdom Bonus)/4
If not self-cast, base off caster's skill, divide by 2.

Max Trap = disarm skill + wisdom bonus + lore bonus

Trap Lore Bonus = Level/2 + Skill Bonus/10 + (Ref Bonus + Dis Bonus)/4
Divide this by 2 if not Self Cast (& base it off the casters skill or your own if from an imbed).

Lockpick modifiers are:
Copper 1.00
Brass 1.00
Steel 1.10
Ivory 1.20
Gold 1.20
Silver 1.30
Mithril 1.45
Ora 1.55
Glaes 1.60
Laje 1.75
Vultite 1.80
Rolaren 1.90
Veniom 2.20
Invar 2.25
Alum 2.30
Golvern 2.30
Kelyn 2.40
Vaalin 2.50

yeah i have most all that, pretty sure dex is the only stat modifying picking or disarming now

and the 403 and 404 values are totally unknown as far as i know, though i havent checked what you put up there

I know almost exactly what I can do without lore, but throwing lore in, I am wondering if I can drop from 250trap/290lock ranks down to 202/202 and still get 480 trap and 1200 lock
