A grinning skull tops the bow of this macabre key. This key can be used in place of thieves' toolkit when attempting to Pick a Lock, and it grants a +1 item bonus to the Thievery check.

If the skeleton key becomes broken due to a critical failure on the check, it works as normal thieves' toolkit and loses its benefits until repaired.

Activate—Loosen Lock F (manipulate)

Frequency once per day

Trigger You attempt to Pick a Lock but haven't rolled yet


Effect The key casts Knock on the lock you're trying to pick.
