Bard Detective Arcane Insight Trapfinding

[Keven Simmons]

I'm looking at the Bard Detective class option from APG and am a little puzzled by the Arcane Insight feature as it relates to trapfinding. The ability says: "At 2nd level, a detective can find and disable magical traps, like a rogue’s trapfinding ability" - which is a nice feature except for the fact that disable device(DD) is not a class skill for bards. I assume then that a bard detective will need to have at least one rank in DD to use the feature and even then she would not get the class-skill bonus when making the attempt. Does that sound like the correct interpretation?

Disable Device is a "trained only" skill, so even a rogue would need a rank in it to use the ability. It not being a class skill for bards, just means that your detective bard doesn't get the +3 "class" bonus. I'm currently playing a Detective bard, in a party with no real rogues, so this is a nice feature.
