Name	Device Proficiency
Cost	5 points
Prerequisites	Scoundrel
Key Words	Archetype / Scout / Stamina
Description	At the cost of 3 stamina, with a suitable set of lockpicks or tools, the character can pick or disable a mastercrafted lock or trap in 2 minutes of suitable roleplay. Some fiendishly difficult locks and traps may take longer or require extra stamina. Any special requirements will be listed on the relevant card or given by the attending referee. This skill can be used to deactivate or activate a trap without breaking it, but the character must spend double the time (4 minutes) to do so. Note that this skill cannot normally be used to pick or disable enchanted locks and traps unless the character has the Arcane Saboteur skill and a set of invested tools. Note: The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units.
Progression	Arcane Saboteur, Sapper
