LOCKPICKS/DISARM
Change Lockpicking to "Devices" as I've said before. Grant players experience for successfully picked locks and disarmed traps.
Currently lockpicking provides zero benefit aside from a few chests that are otherwise impossible to open. The overall benefit for the investment is almost negligible.
Change Lockpicks and Disarming Tools to be permanent, and only THROUGH THOSE TOOLS are you able to receive bonuses to "Devices" (i.e. Lockpicks).
LOREMASTER
Remove the dopey magnifying glass. Replace it with a book. The book, not items (such as amulet/bracers/etc) will provide the bonus to Loremaster. Grant players that successfully decipher items XP.
