PICK can open a lock without having the key. In order to PICK successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.

While picking you can choose between the following picking methods: Lift, Pinch, Pluck, Tap, Pry, Torque, Skip, Probe and Corrode.

Generally, you PROBE a lock to get information on what to do next, and based on your skill it will give you one or more suggestions.

A lock may have several mechanics that need to be circumvented. (for example, a spring, several tumblers, a lever). Using the INCORRECT picking method will reset the lock (and probably damage it too). Like attacks, players can have exceptional picking rolls. Picking a lock too many times wears it down until it gets too hard to pick.

You can use chest-popping vials of 'corrosive' to weaken the lock and make it easier to pick.
