(Also, all soloing classes except the Druid can use either the Crom or a Knock spell to get around locks.)
Should probably be noted that a Bashing force of 10 doesn't give you a 10% chance of bashing any lock open. Your own bashing force is checked against the lock level, and thus your own bashing force has to exceed a certain level to even have the slightest chance of breaking the lock.
