dude arthritis perhaps its time to wrap up playing video games...maybe your age is effected by them...??? and stats kinda effect hand eye coordination agility is based upon whether or not you're agile and dexterous. no one claimed to think of this as fallout or elder scrolls, the latter which i have never played nor do i care to.
Um, no - my physical condition does not mean I should wrap up playing games. I have no intention to play with flight simulators, nor am I running off to play competitive shooters. I am playing a character and my character is picking a lock...I am not. Just as my character is swinging that sword - I am not. And my reference to Fallout and Elder Scrolls is because they DO incorporate 'mini-games' for lockpicking, as per your request. Skill checks check the skills of the character in D&D, not the player.
