If the Thief has a bennie for lockpicking, then he can end up with more advantages and have an easier time by passing the lock. Groups can either have the players roll for these supporting skills or just declare their awesomeness.I think I wrote that down the way I thought it!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
