[QUOTE="ersatzphil, post: 8659388, member: 12096"] ...in a weird intersection of "things I know about", I'd actually recommend BosnianBill over LPL if you wanted to know the basics of bypassing common locks, as amusing as LPL is to watch. That being said, if the goal was to make the rogue character feel cool rather than try to challenge them in an out-of-the-game sort of way, you could pick up a set of skeleton keys and a cheap warded padlock, and let them feel like an absolute ninja for a session: [MEDIA=youtube]z9UIDzwBSeI[/MEDIA] Warded locks were also known since the Roman era and really came to historical prominence during the monastic period in the middle ages, so it's arguably more like what a D&D rogue would be picking anyway. Pin tumbler locks were known in ancient Egypt, but didn't really come to prominence until Linus Yale popularized them in the 1800s.
