Open lock skill on rogue splash, how much needed at lvl 20?

[Forzah]

I'm thinking of making a 18barb/2rogue, but as it looks now I only have 8 starting int, so that I can not focus on all rogue skills. Therefore I'm going to get some lockpicking skills. How many ranks should I put into open lock to be able to open about 95% of all stuff?

i heard 4 ranks are enough to get almost everything with open lock besides epic and maybe elite ones

I always go for 10 ranks, has yet to fail me but i'm sure you could get lower if you don't mind spending some time trying to pick. (which you can do until you run out of tools)

Nice to hear, I can get it up to around 20 without too much sacrifice. According to the character planner, that is. Leaves me with some room to fit in haggle

8 int? - Barbar have 4 skill points per level it make 3 points (unless you are not human) isnt it too low to even max search and DD (when you multiclassing you paying 2 per full skill), and you don't get UMD (it is big loose)... What more Int is realy important when you do traps (search checks, and DD checks) 4 int modyficator make huge diffrence in non blowing trap up...

I'm a dwarf, so I can improve my reflex (all) saves against spells by 5, and I can still reach 600'ish hp. Only got the rogue level for evasion, which I'm trying to get around 30 reflex save for. But I might as well focus on opening locks then, since it's very possible to do so. I put no points in search and disable.
