I'm a Knights of the Old Republic veteran, but it's been probably five years since I've played through last. I'm curious if there's a bare minimum skill level for demolitions that will allow me to blow open containers that I'll encounter throughout the game. I'm not concerned about disarming and recovering mines, as my companions will take care of that. However, if I can get away with investing only a few points into demolitions to give my character the ability to blow open damaged containers, it's something I'd like to do.

From memory I think you can place down minor explosive mines to blow open containers so whatever you need to build\use those. 4 or 6 or something I think. Given you can pick up equipment to help plus add in ability scores, and use force powers, you could allocate less points than that even. Try checking out the guides on GameSpot\GameFAQ if you want. I'm sure one of those has the answer though it may take a little bit of sklimming to find the right section.

Depends on the mine and difficulty, so no easy answer...

You just need one skill point, as any checks outside of combat are an automatic 20 and the weakest mines only need like 10 or whatever to set or recover.
