I'm really enjoying this mod pack - many thanks for all the work that went into it! I have a small problem though. I've defeated the Troop Commander (Bassanio?) and all his fire creatures in the Fire Temple (level 2). But I can't open his treasure chest! I've tried 'Knock' (it's magically protected) and 'Pick Locks' @ skill level 10 (failed). I have Alrrem's key (no sign it works). Any offers?
What kind of armor is your rogue wearing? Take it off to improve your DEX score. Have a bard sing COMPETENCE. Have a spell caster give the rogue CAT'S GRACE, buy the masterwork thieves tools in Nulb, use lockpick grease. Take SKILL FOCUS: OEPN LOCKS.
Thanks for replying. :thumbsup: My lockpick chappie took off his armour before trying and is indeed using masterwork lockpicks. I will try adding 'Cat's Grace' though! Are you saying that this chest can only be opened using 'pick lock' - i.e. there's no key and 'Knock' is blocked? (Incidentally Brother Smythe has already asked me to try opening a chest which apparently demands the same skill...)
That chest requires pretty high disable and open skills, like 18-20+. Check the skill points, they may not be high enough just yet. You may have to levelup and try later. If disable fails there's serious damage so keep everyone at a distance. I've lost a rogue and wizard there before.
Well thanks to the helpful advice, I did get it open! :yes: And the trap went off ... but my party survived. Thanks again.
