Shit just happens ...
Even the greatest master of sneaking can step of squeaking plank in the floor.
And even the clumsiest Zoidberg can manage to *somehow* lockpick a lock.

Chances for both are tiny ... and they hardly can get tinier than 1/20 on 20 sided dice. smile
Stealth checks are not confronted by the enviroment, they are confronted by opponents perception. Passive perception for starters. And passive perseption is already 10+Perception skill value. So if the opponent managed to go down to 5 with his passive perception he is effectively deaf and blind.
And again a clumsy Zoidberg can manage to lockpick not so sophisticated lock, somehow without those 20s on 1d20, he just needs to roll more than 5 or 10 or 15 plus his Sleight of Hands value. Him openning a super sophisticated lock that has DC above 20 plus Zoidberg's Sleight of Hands value should be a miracle (not 5% chance) and miracles are provided by magic in this world.
