The difficulty you choose for hidden exits is also the same difficulty the door would need to be if the lock were pick-able as there cannot be more than one difficulty per exit.
	If a player's skill is average (50) then the skill check is to see the result of <code>(1d100 + skill) - 100 </code>. Another way to note it would be <code>rnd(1,100) + skill - 100</code> If the result is above 0 the search will be successful. Therefore if your skill is 0 you always fail an average swim roll is > 100. If your skill is 75 for an average swim, you succeed 75% of the time. If your skill is 100 then you always succeed. Remember that the open-ended roll can of course always offset even a sure success or fail.
