Hey guys, I was looking at making an inspired blade, and I was pretty stoked to see an intelligence based swashbuckler. But then I noticed that only like two of their abilities become intelligence based, while everything else stays charisma based, such as charmed life and most of the deeds.

Am I missing something? And if so was this deliberate or just a mistake in printing?

So I currently have a 4th level wizard who is going to become an arcane trickster later on. I was thinking of some creative ways to open chests/bypass traps for my ever so cunning wizard to employ. I was trying to think if there is a way that I could make a drill to be able to drill open a hole in chests, and then use a grain of sand with light cast on it so that I could see the contents of the chest without opening it. This would allow me to see what is in the chest, and also would show me where objects were so I could see where it would be safe to saw open the chest. The trouble with a drill would be having a spinning power source that is portable.

So my thought was that I could use prestidigitation to create a drill bit, to show a gnome engineer, have the gnome produce a drill bit for me (since the prestidigitation drill bit is too weak to use as a tool) and then use Mage Hand's 5-pound telekinesis to spin the drill bit from a distance, safely drilling a hole into the chest.

I might also create a tiny mirror on a stick with prestidigitation to get an even better look at the insides of the chest.

What do you guys think? Is this a legitimate use of these skills? Do you think it is an effective way of opening chests?
