Is there no attacking a door to break it down?

[Mr. Album]

Encountered a locked door which all party members failed to open. Is there really no other way past the door? You can ATTACK the door, but it just gives an attack roll, no damage, and the door remains unfazed despite six quarterstaff strikes rofl.

Is there really no other way past a locked door once you screw up the check with all party members?

go into settings and change the die rolls to allow you to retry skill checks. Then if your thief fails to pick a lock, they can just keep trying until they succeed. OR, get a KNOCK spell for your wizard

There are also a few items that give the knock spell. I have only seen it in Lost Valley or custom campaigns though.

I agree though that an option to knock a door down or break a chest would be a good addition.

Just another way this game is vastly inferior to Never Winter Nights.

Eh, w/e. NWN is filled with hundreds of meaningless, boring encounters.

If you think the encounters in NWN are just like the ones in this game, then you haven't played both games. Or you're being deliberately contrarian. Either way, not worth talking to you about.

"Knock" is the intended alternate solution, yes. Can't break down any doors or chests.

2nd level transmutation spell; should be available for wizards, sorcerers, bards. Solasta, as far as I can tell, does not implement the intended downside that it's really, really loud.

Not unheard of for vendors to offer spell scrolls of it in case you have one of those casters but want to spare the spell slots (or are level 1 or 2 and can't learn it yourself yet. A level 1 caster an attempt to use a scroll for a level 2 spell that's on his class spell list, but he needs to make a <casting stat> check against DC 12 for it to work.)

If for some reason you don't have any wizards sorcerers or bards; I suppose you could hope to find a Chime of Opening -- not class restricted, has a finite number of non-replenishing charges with which to cast Knock.

Yeah I gues you are right, nwn is way better.
