Jaceth cook(survival) skill 40 at an assumed take 20 with a +2 syn off Rossarrell asking an inteligent question.

Awesome (although J5's math eludes me)! See, that was much better than Rossarrell could have done.

hrm i thought that you could only take 20 if there were no repricutions for failure. say like disarming a trap.

That's right, that's it.

So you can take a 20 with a knowledge check given time and resources, but craft, open lock or disable divice... no.

I would think that you could take 20 on open lock check. The skill description says nothing about there being negative repercussions from a failed check. Sure, one could argue that you could break your picks or jam the lock, but those things usually happen due to inexperience on the part of the picker or attempting to pick the lock too quickly. If you're taking your time, you should have no problem. Of course, usually you won't have time to take 20 on an open lock check, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to. (As I recall, Neverwinter Nights allowed you to take 20 on an open lock check -- although NN played fast and loose with a lot of mechanics.)

Apparently it ate my post.

Yeah, that's happened to me a couple times lately. Very irritating. These days I always write my stuff in notepad first before transfering it over and posting it.

I haven't had any disappearing posts problems.
