bashing chests to open:It checks your strength alone, regardless of what you are wielding. You can bash some of them open, but the amount of strength you need depends on how tought the chest is. Chances are, if you failed picklock it is a tough chest as well. So you either need a better thief or a tougher ranger. At 18/60 strength your bash is about 30%, minus the modifiers the chest applies. There are things you simply cannot break, as well. They are designed to keep you out, after all. A chest isn't much use if anybody can kick it open no matter how good the lock...Just to clarify, are these chests that you could bash open before you tried to pick them? The more difficult ones to pick are also more difficult to bash. If you couldn't bash them before or after you may just not be strong enough. Of course, if you could bash them before and can't after then that's really weird.
