2024 D and D rules change the way that
0:02
picking locks works and it's in a way
0:04
that I think a lot of groups won't
0:05
realize in the 2014 rules picking locks
0:08
was done using Proficiency in thieves
0:11
tools now a lot of groups Ed slight of
0:13
hand by mistake but nowhere in the 2014
0:16
rules does it say that slide of hand
0:18
interacts with picking locks in the 2024
0:21
rules the description for locks states
0:24
that it's a dc15 slight of hand check
0:26
using thieves tools to pick a lock now
0:30
if you have Proficiency in thief's tools
0:32
you would presumably add your
0:33
proficiency bonus from that and if you
0:36
have Proficiency in slight of hand you
0:38
could also use slight of hand the rules
0:40
for tools if you have both proficiencies
0:43
you gain advantage on the check so a
0:45
character who is proficient in thieves
0:46
tools such as a rogue and also
0:49
proficient in slide of hand will be very
0:52
very effective at picking locks starting
0:54
with whatever their proficiency bonus is
0:57
plus dexterity and then rolling with
0:59
advantage every time they try to pick a
1:01
lock or disarm a trap so that's going to
1:04
be just fine it's going to be very
1:07
reliable in the 2024 rules so
1:10
effectively you're going to have to get
1:11
used to players always rolling with
1:14
Advantage when they pick locks but that
1:16
does raise the question what was slight
1:18
of hand for in the 2014 rules it had
1:21
exactly two functions you could use
1:23
slight of hand to pick pockets and to
1:26
perform slight of hand which includes
