Hello everyone, last time I posted here I got some nice feedback, I'd like to ask some questions I've been playing with but it's difficult for me to test or look up without just asking someone.

> 3 moth swarmkeeper + 4 swashbuckler + 5 hex

1. does the blind from the mothswarm help with landing rakish sneak attack swashbuckler hits?
2. if I take an early level in hex (for example level 2, after level 1 ranger knight proficiency), will the rest of the damage I deal through this build scale with charisma? Even if I take different levels elsewhere? I'm always a bit confused what spells require what modifier. The build will largely focus on melee hits/blinding though.
3. can I take both Volo's and Ethel's eyes for two fake eyes? Are there big disadvantages to this?
4. for the purposes of a blinding, is the pet + moth plenty, or should I take 4 levels in swash for pocket sand instead of a 6th level for zombie passive of hex?
5. I'm assuming double wielding crowd the action economy, so would a scimitar work to RP a dread captain with a bird and a complex around blindness? or maybe a gith with the psychic damage dealing blade

> 2 star + 7 glamour + 3 thief

6. I want a support build (perhaps RP-heavy) that can heal and buff, I thought this could be an interesting idea. If I take levels in star druid first, will this character deal charisma-based damage later with glamour/thief levels?
7. Would the extra bonus actions offered by 3 thief levels be worth it for Mantle of Majesty and the Star Druid bonus action from dragon/archer?
8. Would healing chalice work (twice?) if I use a bardic heal spell, or heal through an item by casting a bard spell on someone?

> Bladesinger 7 + Fighter 2 + Wild Magic Sorc 3

9. If I take Bladesinger levels first, those spells will keep scaling with INT right?
10. The spells cast by Wizard will still activate Wild Magic?
11. Are 3 meta magics and the occassional Wild Magic worth it over simply a few more bladesinger levels?
12. Summons like Azer don't trigger wild magic right? When they use their spells or so?

Thank you for your help!
