So this is a topic i have seen a lot of discussion around;
1: lower the DCs on doors
2: Add a lock to the storage boxes with the security system that currently exists on doors
The Reasoning behind this is that the ability to get into a quarter, as it functions now, is almost exclusively used for theft. Making it more possible to get into a quarter, but not the storage, opens up more opportunity for RP. Spying on message boards, setting ambushes, leaving flaming bowls of feces in their homes or what have you.
now that being said, the DCs on doors should still be VERY HIGH, just more attainable than they currently are.
I feel this would also add a reason to invest more in lock breaking skills beyond min-maxing for dungeons, and add it to a viable RP skill.

Re: Quarter security
Something similar was just rejected because it would involve editing all the quarters.
I do like this idea though, and wonder if we could do it dynamically without changing areas in the module.

Re: Quarter security
I really really like that idea, and I'd love to see it implemented, but I've a feeling that I've seen it deneid before. I'll hold off on judgement until someone better than I can give it a 'yes' or a 'no'. But I think it's great.
This too shall pass.

Re: Quarter security
One concern here might be fixture theft

Re: Quarter security
I'm still not sure how feasable this is, and it does have a few issues that'd need to be smoothed out rule wise, but in principle I do love this idea so I'm going to be daring and move it to approved.
This too shall pass.

Re: Quarter security
Discussion has shown that this isn't really feasable I don't think. Which is a shame as I love the idea. Moving to rejected for now.
This too shall pass.
