        I legitimately had my players pull that one on me once. Door into a secret lab disguised as a closet was beyond their skill, warded by powerful magic, etc etc. They looked at the floor plan and saw that the closet protruded from the main wall a bit. “Why not go in through the side?” I hadn’t thought about it. I figured the villain hadn’t thought about it either. A simple pickax later and they were in.

      I’ve seen doors taken down in many a way, but I can count on one hand how many actually targeted the hinges.

      Blown off the hinges plenty of times, though.

        I have seen many doors open simply by attacking the latch with a credit card or piece of wire. As one pen tester said it. Locks are an effort, but doorframes are easy.

        Even when a door is well hung, I have seen guys use a car jack to stretch the frame of the door, so they can pry open the latch.

    Normally this lock would be unpickabale, but with this special tool Bosnian Bill and I made…

    Meanwhile McNally is lubing up.

    If the lich is dumb enough to use a mundane lock, there’s easier ways to get through it. I guess they could do that trick with Imprisonment (Minimus Containment) to get an indestructible gem, but you could still use Stone Shape.

    The proper way to hide a phylactery is in a demiplane with a bunch of random knick knacks so people can never guess the “contents and purpose”.
