For example, if the GM rolls 4d6 and gets 4, 1, 5 and 5, the correct combination is, depending on the method used: 4155, YROO, or 🟡🔴🟠🟠.
Once the GM has secretly determined the correct combination, they may invite the player to start making guesses. '''Each guess costs 1 use of a lockpicking kit'''. After the player has made a guess, the GM compares it with the correct combination, and may return the following responses:
* The GM says "Match X/4", where X is the number of symbols with correct color and position. (Match 4/4 suggests a 100% correct guess and therefore an unlock.)
Depending on the character's skill level, they may benefit from certain bonuses, intended to make it easier to guess the correct answers. See [[Lockpicking#Lockpicking skill levels|this section]] for more details.
Â
'''A lockpicking kit has a 10% chance to break after a set number of guesses'''. The exact number depends on your Lockpicking skill. See [[Lockpicking#Lockpicking skill levels|this section]] for details.
