[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7323166, member: 6802951"] Iserith's point is a good one: if a DM generally asks for Investigation checks to find traps, and bases Thieves Tools checks to disarm them on Intelligence, that is going to change your priorities to if they use Perception and Dexterity. Depending on how you want to realise your concept, you could go for a Fighter or Ranger class, pick up proficiency in Thieves tools and other skills from background. There are UA feats that grant expertise and additional bonuses you may want to check out if your DM allows them as well. Your current setup is fine though. Insight is a fairly unusual skill to pick for expertise, given that your other social skills are going to be bad with that Charisma, but you might be able to double-team with another party member.
