Melt Lock spell not WAI

[Arcanesnipr]

On my Alchemist I try to use melt lock but it is useless in upper level content. It says DC is d20+spellcraft skill however, my spell craft is 92 but my bonus to melt lock on the little die is +65. Is description off?

Hasn't worked correctly since alchemist came out. It goes off your Int modifier + spell caster level or something like that.

Yeah, it's been broken since the start.

Did a little testing and the closest thing I can find it tied to is the repair skill as it has the same value like when I took off an int item the value matched repair still. There's still a discrepancy though, I made a repair item and my repair skill went to 80ish but the dc for melt lock stayed the same. Maybe it's using the formula for repair skill but not including the item bonus to the skill?

I think rn it's just going off of your caster level, like knock does.

Melt lock says d20 + spellcraft, but it functions identically to the Knock spell. d20+ caster level + int mod. Yeah totally useless garbage dc that will unlock nothing unless you have ridiculous int or sources for lots of caster levels.

If you are playing an Alchemist, then why wouldn’t you have ridiculous int and caster levels?

They do. The point is that they STILL can't open locks.

I mean they could be missing gear, and you can get 6 int from past lives and 5 from reaper points so if you're missing all that, 11 int you literally cannot have that someone else might. Sentient xp included in gear imo.

Pretty sure you need 120+ int and all the extra caster levels you can get to actually open anything tho so hard for most ppl to do
