Lockpicking
Lockpicking makes opening doors or chests easier and can enable entry to locked buildings or containers; being caught can reduce reputation.
How it works
The original-game skills passage says Lockpicking makes picking locks on doors or chests easier. The perks page describes it as allowing Henry to break into locked buildings or containers, and warns that lockpicking and stealing can lead to a reputation decrease if caught. The passages do not describe lock difficulty levels, tool requirements, or particular lockpicking perks.
