No. Dex based polearm fighter with a homebrew dex polearm called a Guan Dao. Think Guan Yu from Dynasty Warriors. Instead of being 1d10 like a normal polearm, it is 2d4.

That might have been me messing around with things. Hatorade let me in so I could look at the software and stuff, I made a character so I could see how the sheet stuff worked. He'll have to delete it

FYI you can drag and drop the class to your character sheet to auto add the skills/HP and level up.
Good info here for 5EGuides, videos and other helpful information

It's DM discretion and PC dependent. Typically it's WIS (Perception)/INT (Arcana) to notice it, WIS (Insight)/INT(Investigation) to figure it out, INT (Arcana)/DEX (Sleight of Hand) to disarm.
Think about Thieves Den with a hidden spike pit. Rogue walks in and thinks "If this was me I'd booby trap the place I should be careful", (Perception) see's a tacky rug and lifts it to find a trap door. He Investigates the door's mechanism and thinks he can jam it (Insight or Investigation). He doesn't have thieves tools, but has some spare bolts and forces them into the frame (Sleight of Hand) and thinks it should work. Passes the DC, Trap disarmed. A druid would probably handle it differently and as a DM you should accommodate within reason.
Thieves tools in 5 are a gateway to adding Prof bonus (or ADV) to skill checks (once you specialize with them) So instead of a Dex vs the Trap its Dex + Prof vs Trap. Some traps/locks specifically say require Thieves tools, but I'd suggest just ignoring that or putting non-tool users at DIS.

Most fun I ever had with a PC was as a disguise/cha assassin. Having really shitty Dex/Str really makes it hard to kill your targets until you learn to bend/manipulate people into unknowingly killing your target. Being the solo LE/in a mostly CG/NG group is fun when only the DM knows your true intent and you have to play the story and the metagame to pass as a good person who secretly murders anyone/everyone for power/riches. The rest of the group thought I was the Party merchant.

Monk, wizard, fighter, barbarian. I will load up FG and keep it up so you can make a character.
