[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 7155931, member: 97587"] Blue summed it up really well. This has always been how I saw the bladesinger class. Cute, but far too MAD to really be worthwhile. You need a high Int, or your spells are mediocre and you don't get that massive boost to your ac. You need a high Con or that lucky guy who manages to hit you will just take you down, or you fall to aoe spells that still do half damage. And you need a good Dex for the other half of your ac and to make your melee attacks worthwhile. Usually by level 20 you can end up with 3 20's but your other stats/saves will suffer for this. I doubt you will survive a wis save lategame and then you're mind controlled a +6(or +5 if you have a -1 wis) to the save just isn't enough. It's cute and good when it works but if you want full-caster tanks or just crazy hard to kill tanks their are much better options. Tempest Cleric/Storm Sorc, War Cleric/Ranger, Druid/Ranger, Dex Pally/warlock, are all much less dependant on 3 stats. the cleric/sorc only really needs 2 stats to be crazy, Con and Cha because who needs weapons when you have shocking grasp/thunderclap.
