The QRS of Lock Qualities Here is a script reference guide for Lock Qualities. To use this list, highlight the content below, everything between the top ***** marker and the bottom one (but not the markers themselves), then Right Click on the highlighted text. Select "Copy". Go into your script menu on the Wizard FE, select "Create a Script..." and name the script something appropriate, like, I don't know.. "Locks" for instance. Set the script up to be a Command Line script. Clicking "Create" will cause Notepad (or another Text program) to pop up. Go to the bottom-most line of the text and Right Click. Select "Paste" ...and voila! The copied script is now in the text file. For good measure, hit Enter at the end of the script to make sure everything will get entered when the script is initiated. Go to the File Menu and Save. To use the script, you will type whatever Script activator you use (It's a Period by Default) and then the script's name. Entering the command will cause Everything below (except the word "echo", this is just a script command) to go up in your screen. No one else will see this list when you activate it. You can then scroll around on your screen and review the listed qualities of locks and their difficulties to pick them. It's quick, it's easy to follow, it's like rabbits. Don't ask.

"The lock difficulty is -only- meaningful in terms of comparing the character's skill values and modifiers against the lock. As the skill numbers are for the player, so too are the lock numbers. The mere fact that some GM years ago tried to make a message that was somewhat less mechanical than "Lock Difficulty: 225" in no way makes those numbers appropriate information for a character." -- GameMaster Gorlash, December 9th, 2001
