Fast Picks (Talent)

Lock tumblers seem to respond to your will, falling into line like soldiers on parade.

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Rogue 1

Benefit: A rogue with this talent can reduce any penalties being applied to the DC of their Disable Device checks to Pick Locks by up to +2 per experience tier of the Rogue class they possess (i.e. negate up to 2 points of penalty at Rogue levels 1-5, negate up to 4 points of penalty at levels 6-10, etc., to a maximum of up to 14 points of penalty negation if the rogue possesses all seven tiers of the rogue class (i.e. at least Rogue level 31)).

If the rogue is able to negate more penalties than the Lock Picking check actually calls for, any additional penalty negation is lost. The best the rogue can do is negate all the penalties of the Pick Locks check with the Fast Picks talent; it can never turn into an actual bonus on the roll.
