Security Skill Glitch?

[Jedi78]

I'm not sure if anyone else has tried this out. If you have 1 skill point in security you can try to open any locked container. If you fail, then just bash it. The item has never broken for me. If anyone has time a confirm would be cool...ciao

I never can open anything with a security skill of 1 and when i bash it sometimes items are broken.

[Brave Sir Robin]

I gave my character a security skill of 1, and then bashed the first container I couldn't unlock. It didn't work and I got a broken item.

[Ostkant]

I unlocked 85% of all containers using just 1 point for Security. I used Security Tunnelers and for some reason I had a +4 bonus to my Security but I never knew why. There was no item that I had equipped, I checked.

That +4 bonus was from your intelligence modifier. Or dexterity. I forget which one affects security.

[Ostkant]

The most logical attribute is Intelligence.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Yeah, but I figured lockpickers are really good with their hands, so it could have been dexterity.

[Dark Jedi Master]

Yeah, 1 security skill can open almost anything. All Jedi Guardians should have 1 security skill (2 points unless cross skill feat) so that you can open any container on Peragus and Telos. After that just use Atton to open locks.

[Obireel Y Doncha]

I've busted a bunch of stuff bashing open containers. It took me a while to realize what was happening.

 

Playing as a Sentinel I let my security skill get up around 10 or 12. That might've been overkill once you have Atton and a few other NPCs to pick locks, but there might be some upgrade items you can only make with higher security skill.
