A grinning skull tops the bow of this macabre key. This key can be used in place of a thieves' toolkit when attempting to Pick a Lock, and it grants a +1 item bonus to the Thievery check. If the skeleton key becomes broken due to a critical failure on the check, it works as a normal thieves' toolkit and loses its benefits until repaired.
