The PICK command is used to open locks in conjunction with a lockpick.

Use

To pick a lock, it requires that a lockpick be held in hand, with the other hand either empty or containing the locked object.

Containers

The primary use for this command is to open containers dropped by slain creatures. It is possible to pick a lock with an armed trap, however, it is much harder and risks setting off the trap. It has been noted by GMs that they feel this has been abused and that it may change in the future[1].

Other Locks

Some buildings have locks that may attempted to be picked, however the majority of them cannot be opened and will simply cause a 20 second RT, teaching a small amount.

Syntax

PICK <LOCK> (will default to a lockpick in your right hand, if present)
PICK <LOCK> WITH LOCKPICK (will use a lockpick in either hand)
