Lockpicking for Barbarians
SKSE plugin that allows unlocking locks by power attacking them with a two-handed weapon or unarmed (if the player has sufficiently high stamina and/or two-handed skill). The following table lists the minimum stamina cap and/or two-handed skill level the player must have in order to unlock locks of each level:
- Novice: Stamina: 100 // Two-Handed/Unarmed*: Level 20 // XP Gain: +17.5 XP
- Apprentice: Stamina: 125 // Two-Handed/Unarmed*: Level 30 // XP Gain: +25 XP
- Adept: Stamina: 175 // Two-Handed/Unarmed*: Level 40 // XP Gain: +40 XP
- Expert: Stamina: 225 // Two-Handed/Unarmed*: Level 60 // XP Gain: +80 XP
- Master: Stamina: 275 // Two-Handed/Unarmed*: Level 80 // XP Gain: +120 XP
*If Hand to Hand - An Adamant Addon is present, the Hand to Hand skill is used for unarmed attack calculations. Otherwise, the Heavy Armor skill is used for unarmed attack calculations.
Two settings are provided in LockpickingForBarbarians.ini which allow toggling the use of the Stamina and Two-Handed actor values in determining whether the player can unlock a lock (both enabled by default).
The XP increase values are taken from Hand to Hand - An Adamant Addon. If Hand to Hand is present, the XP gain will apply to the Security skill. Otherwise, the XP gain will apply to the Lockpicking skill.
NOTE: The stamina actor value used is calculated including any buffs that may be active--you may use potions that increase your stamina cap temporarily in order to increase the level of lock which can be unlocked by power attacking with a two-handed weapon.
