Hello, I'm new to the server. I was exploring the sewers beneath Condor and I came across a locked door. An ooc message appeared indicating that I could bash the lock. I tried, the result was a DC failure. 11 vs 15DC. OK, not bad. I assumed it was D20+strength bonus vs DC. My strength bonus was 2 and the DC was only 15 so I figured my odds of success were pretty good. Nope. After 5 good minutes I rolled nothing higher than 11 which was a fairly frequent result for whatever reason. I rolled as low as 1, so that shot my strength bonus theory. Any ideas what the actual rolls are based off of? I found another topic on the same subject but the question was never answered. |

Glim would probably know for certain, but I think it's not at all about hitting the door. I've successfully opened a door when I "missed* my attack on it. (Rolled a 1. I claim it opened because I hit the frame at the proper place ...) Whether it's a STR check or some calculated damage check that is triggered by the attack, more STR certainly helps. So try a Bull's potion, for example. The results are also really wird, so I don't think it's a d20 roll. Within a few rounds I had my success roll be fairly consistent and too low and then it suddenly was 10 higher (but just that one time). Regards Ts |

I've been ignoring the vanilla lock bashing mechanic echo. I was referring to the scripted bashing mechanic's echo when I was discussing rolls and results. It can't be using strength bonus since it wouldn't be possible for me to roll a 1 in that instance if my strength is 15. |

Whatup. Old one is based on half STR mod and gives you d12's accordingly. I've written a far more advanced one that takes strength as well as weapon type(or monk level unarmed bonus) into account. Just be patient, the dudes and dudettes behind the scenes are working on it.  PoM |
