Hello.

I tried to open a locked door with a rogue.

However, it keep says it's LOCKED. Please, look at my youtube video: https://youtu.be/-o-d7LpCdOM

As you can see the picture I've linked above, my Rogue character's Open Lock skill is 10, it has a thieves' tool, and most of all it's DEX is 22.

Is it not possible to open a locked door with a Rogue? Or did I do something wrong?

Good day. D&D Wiki provides good info for the Open Lock Skill.

The lock you are attempting to pick is probably above the skill of your Rogue, hence his/her inability to pick it. You'll either need to greatly enhance his/her skill through items and/or level up several levels and try again.

Depending upon the locked door/chest, you could also attempt to force it open with a character with really high strength, but again, you'll have to successfully "roll" to force it open.

You could also come back and try the Knock spell if you have a Wiz/Sor who can cast it, or a Bard or any other character who is high enough level to have the Knock spell.

Since I just started playing ToEE again after a long hiatus away and if memory serves me correctly, there are locked doors that you cannot pick regardless of level.

I hope this info helps. Enjoy your travels! Cheers!

You do know that you have to manually "pick" the lock? I.e., make the rogue your active character, then right-click the lock and select "Open Lock" in the circle-menu. (I didn't watch the video)
