"If you are of sufficient strength..."

I have only tried bashing things open a few times, which have given me the impression that it tends to fail anyway. I never really thought about it, but with Jaheira's cage in the beginning, I started to wonder about it. She says that if I am of sufficient strength, it is possible it may be broken. This being at the beginning of the game, I would have assumed it's a fairly simple affair. However, when I actually tried, apparently I couldn't achieve this with multiple attempts even when I arranged to have Strength of at least 22, might have been 24. What's the deal with that? Am I missing something?

Bashing locks open is certainly possible, but the success rate is much lower than for a decent thief trying to pick the lock. It's a pretty useless ability really, because every party will have a thief in it anyway.

I think (not sure mind) that it's the same sort of deal as with picking locks, where if you fail the first time you will automatically fail on repeat attempts.
I suspected that. It's just that I've always failed to do it with that cage, even in totally different games, and almost every time I've had Str at least 17.

It might require a str total somewhere in the 20s, possible even 25. Or maybe it was just added to add abit of realisum but it isn't actually possible to force the lock open.
