hello,
so many ppl saying you can open locks with brute natural force. thus not needing a thief.
but it doesnt work... ever for me! or... so far i havent succeded... hmmm.. something wrong here? my str is 18/xx.
thus the weapon your trying to break the lock with affect the success of 'opening' it? or how do you guys do it?

use draw on holy might for 25 str...even then the tougher locks will have only about 25% chance of being forced...

get a thief, nalia is ok with boosted stats with item, but best of all is knock...always works, and both nalia and immie and jan all can use knock...

or get a good familiar, like the ferret or rabbit, they usually have good stats for opening locks... rabbit is also good for trap detection....

yeah i suppose thats a good solution... but i wanna solo or... not really solo, just be with my love (jaheira) ye know?
and im a paladin.... hmmm can i try to break it up repeatable times or just like one time? so i can break and break and break until its open or will it be ever closed until ive upped my str? my draw upon holy might only adds +3str... for now

Softaren, try carrying potions of str..

Frost giant will set your str to 21, +dahm will be 24 and there easy enough to find
