Yeah I was playing a rogue and tried to disable a trap and it used a Sleight of Hand skill check when it should have used my proficiency with thieves tools, I think this is due to Larian setting up disarming kits as something separate from thieves tools when in 5e traps and locks are both disabled by thieves tools. I also agree that I strongly wish to use a custom background option.

Edit: Me ranting a bit

Also, when it comes to traps, in general, I think this game needs to adopt a feature that NWN used fairly well, Active Search Checks. In 5e dnd, you can perform a perception check whenever you would like to take a look around, or an investigation checks when you are examining an item with your hands. From what I have noticed all perception checks in the game are automatic and feel more like a passive check as you aren't actively looking for anything. Additionally, only perception checks are used when finding traps in this game. I wish that they would add a toggle button or something for whenever a player would like to specifically look for anything out of the ordinary.
