Assuming you have one person with a decent Str, breaking stuff unassisted isn't all that difficult. And as has been mentioned, you could always use an axe.If you insist on bashing the thing down in one go, just buy a portable ram. It adds +2 to the check, and allows a second person to assist for another +2, giving your strongest character a total of +4 on his roll for door-bashing. And instead of taking up a valuable feat slot, the ram costs a measly 10 gp.Need an even bigger bonus? IMC we have a custom item: the heavy dungeon ram. Manned by four people, it gives the strongest a total of +8 to his door-bashing roll.  The downside is that it's not easy to lug around; anyone carrying the ram is encumbered as if by heavy armor. (This is due to its size as well as weight; imagine a five-foot chunk of a telephone pole, with iron bracing and a heavy iron head.) So far only NPCs have ever needed to use this thing, because my PC party includes a rogue.Of course, once you can buy or create a Wand of Knock, the whole question of breaking down doors becomes moot. Or, if your campaign uses Song & Silence (and your DM doesn't frown on gnomish technology) you could buy the "mechanical burglar", a windup toy that automatically picks locks.</blockquote>
