The unlock cost 15 SP now, has it always being that expensive? I remember that in BoE is just cost 3SP. -------------------- …../|,-‘`¯¯`\(o)_\,----,,,_……… …( `\(o),,_/` ¯ : o : :: o`-, … I'm under your bed. Posts: 118 | Registered: Wednesday, April 2 2003 08:00 |

In addition to that, unlock also does absolutely nothing unless you're against a magically locked door. -------------------- Dragyn Bob "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!"-The Divine Comedy Posts: 1481 | Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00 |

If your mages are good enough at that spell, it can unlock normal doors. My group of mages/minor priests each have a mage skill of 6, and 10 intellegence, the Natural Mage trait, and their Unlock spells affect normal locked doors. Though I doubt they need ALL that skill to use it to unlock normal doors. But it's 15 SP cost is too much :( . They each only have 60 SP. 10 is okay for me, and it's original cost of 5 SP is great! :D It's cost is tripled and it doesn't unlock as well. :( [ Tuesday, June 08, 2004 16:24: Message edited by: Zephyr Tempest ] -------------------- -Zephyr Tempest, your personal entertainer Posts: 1779 | Registered: Monday, December 9 2002 08:00 |

Lockpicks are useful, though. -------------------- Rate my scenarios! Areni Revenge To Live in Fear Deadly Goblins Ugantan Nightmare Isle of Boredom Posts: 1423 | Registered: Sunday, October 7 2001 07:00 |

I believe that higher spell point costs were introduced to give the game better balance. In A3, lockpicks were next to worthless if you had a mage with even a decent Unlock spell. I think the higher costs and toned down effects of all the spells are just fine, they make combat more interesting and difficult, and make getting Magical Efficiency actually worth it. -------------------- I hate signatures.

:o It's out! *dances* :P Some of you oldies might remember me, I've been in the dark, anticipating this release, but haven't had much time to pop in and say hello! Yeah, I think a default 5 or 6 would be much better, but in A3 it was quite easy if you had a mage to unlock doors, no tool use needed. Posts: 144 | Registered: Monday, September 30 2002 07:00 |

My lock-picker has nearly 20 Tool Use. I think that's what you need to unlock any reasonable lock in the currently existing scenarios. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
