If it could be done (it sounds like a lot of coding for something not too different from LWCs), the idea of locks and lock-picking could be very interesting. I put together my own version of your skill ideas:

Basic terms and limits:
"outsider" is any player who did not cast Lock on the door or chest concerned.
"access" is either attempt to access with right-click or usage of the Lock Pick skill.
A chest can have up to 3 locks on it. Additional locks must be cast by the original owner of the first lock.
Each lock can "hold" one Trap.
A chest or door with a broken lock will still produce trap effects if the trap hasn't worn off.

Lol, I'm so happy just to keep making up lock skills.

Of course, I would like to keep LWCs around as a prohibitively-expensive, totally-safe way to store things.

 

[Kwong050]

one lock per person probably.

 

[mt51784]

the traps are ok the rest I do not think would be a good idea

 

[dalton10]

Well it would be like that so that people can trap their locked chests to sorta scare people from trying to open them.

 

[shrimpy77]

I don't like this skill idea, people pay good money for their locks so they can keep their stuff safe. Not have it token away from just rogues.

 

[Kwong050]

that is what i thought first

 

[ezmac]

This..........sounds..........*******.........amazing............

and @shrimy77 I think they are talking about having this lock system coexist with the LWC system. Locks would cost nothing of much less then LWC, but would not be as effective. They would be more fun though.
