![]() ![]() Always be in Cautious mode and always make the first strike if you can. Surprise is a very strong mechanic which you can exploit. Therefore any DEX based Ranger, Fighter or Paladin (or Wizard / Cleric) can be the party lock picker. A rogue with expertise in Thieves Tools will be inferior to one with this feat. Combine this with either the Rogue class or any class with the Low life background (gives proficiency in Thieves Tools) to make the ‘best’ lock picker. This feat will give a character proficiency in Thieves Tools or expertise is they already have it AND gives ADV on using Thieves Tools to open locks. If it doesn't work then they may have to fight, but it is always worth the effort.The following is a collection of party builds which I have trialled in EA which worked well for me.Ī few things to note regarding character creation Much of the time the player can use the character with the most Charisma to defuse a situation and not have to fight at all. ![]() This is the same in Solasta where there are quite a few different combat encounters that can be more easily solved by having a conversation with the offending party.
