Everywhere I look it says bards get [hilite]pick lock[/hilite] at lvl 40, but I've had this since level 10. I know, because I tried to practice it on the Paineel entry stone (I have a High-Brow SK alt), but it didn't give a message, and it didn't move, either the stone, or the skill level. FYI, my bard is a Half-Elf, so that might be a factor.
