🔓 Electronic Lockpicker 🔳 💰 600
A pre-war locksmith’s tool: a motorised pick head that rakes the pins faster than a hand can, with a torque sensor that reads the cylinder for you.
Effect
- +4 🔏 Lockpick on all 🔏 Lockpick Tests
- Counts as lockpicking tools — no 📎 Bobby Pins are consumed
- You may attempt 🔏 Lockpick Tests even if you have no ranks in 🔏 Lockpick
Breakage
The first 🎭 CRITFAIL on a 🔏 Lockpick Test since your last 🏕 Long Rest only jams the head — the Test still fails, but the tool survives.
A second CRITFAIL before your next 🏕 Long Rest burns out the motor. The tool is broken and gives no further benefit until repaired.
Repair: 2 🔵 Rare Scrap at a 🔧 Workbench, 🧠 INT + 🔧 Repair vs 📊 DC 20.
Tool bonuses do not stack
If you carry more than one set of lockpicking tools, only the best bonus applies.
Cannot be crafted
The 🔨 industrial-workshop rule puts motorised precision tooling out of reach of a field workstation. Found, bought, or taken.
