DOUBLE ACTION
Requirements
Requirements You have thieves’ tools.
Description
Opening a lock without a key is very similar to Disabling a Device, but the DC of the check is determined by the complexity and construction of the lock you are attempting to pick.
Applications
Locks of higher qualities might require multiple successes to unlock, since otherwise even an unskilled burglar could easily crack the lock by attempting the check until they rolled a natural 20. If you lack the proper tools, the GM might let you used improvised picks, which are treated as shoddy tools, depending 0n the specifics of the lock.

Degrees of Performance
- Critical Success You unlock the lock, or you achieve two successes toward opening a complex lock. You leave no trace of your tampering.
- Success You open the lock, or you achieve one success toward opening a complex lock.
