hey, I'm a lvl1 rogue with a skill modifier of 10 in open lock. ( 4 ranks, 4 dexterity modifier, and nimble fingers feat) I was wondering if i were to take ranks in craft (locksmithing) whether or not I get a bonus on my open locks since i craft them and would know more about their inner workings? i know it's almost too much but would the same bonus (say a +2 for every five ranks in the locksmithing craft) to my disable device skill with locks?

+2 for every five ranks seems like a bit much, but a +2 if you have at least five ranks seems to more closely follow the standard synergy bonus precidence. That being said, it seems like a fairly reaonalble synergy.

BTW, get some masterwork theive's picks for another +2 bonus ;)
