[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7238871, member: 12731"] And I want the game to be balanced for, or at least somewhat balanced for, a game with feats and multiclassing, since those are desperate needed crunch options for crunch-hungry D&D gamers... It's simply not going to happen... the Bladesinger's AC with two 20 scores is just the symptom you happened across. In general, feats are so strong that it really isn't balanced at all to allow different amounts of feats. In other words, in our ideal world there should not be any variant humans and no way to gain more than one feat before level six, and even then, if you took the feat, you should be stranded with a +4 modifier to your best stat. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't focus on the Bladesinger. We should focus on your twin 20's. Even if you nerf the Bladesinger I would only switch to a Monk, say, or to a Fighter with two extra feats. The problem isn't the Bladesinger's AC calculation. The problem is the too-high stats.
