Sleight of Hands to open locks?!?
So I was watching a streamer play the game last night, and when they were opening locked doors / chests, the game had them roll for Sleight of Hands?!? o.O

Thieves Tools is what is used to open locks and disable traps in D&D 5E. It's beyond lame that this mistake slipped past the testing. Might want to fix that, it's just really bad game design -.-

P.S.: Take a moment to read every 5E modules published, they all ask for a Dexterity bases Thieves Tools check for picking locks and disabling traps.

You do need theives tools along with the sleight of hand check. And it requires a trap disarm tool, which is completely different, along with the sleight of hand check to disarm traps.

All this game did was roll traps and locks into a single skill called sleight of hand to simplify things. You still require the tools
