[QUOTE="imagicnation, post: 8092404, member: 7021517"] You have presented some valid points, and I am already using the majority of them, but -in our case- they aren't quite as helpful as you'd think for a few reasons... [LIST=1] [*]I'm running a very complex published campaign and thus I'm actually trying to shorten the time I spent preparing. Having to tailor the encounters to the bladesinger's AC is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. [*]Combat rarely occurs more than once or twice a day, so his resources are -most of the time- adequate to effectively rock that AC. It sits at 20 without the shield, but when someone attacks him and (almost 95% of the time) misses, next turn they will usually opt to attack someone else - wouldn't you? So with the use of a 1st level spell, he is practically avoiding confrontation for the whole combat quite often. [*]I know he will not be as effective a "fighter" later on, but currently he is the hardest to hit, does the most consistent damage (using SCAG cantrips) and (being a wizard) has the most utility - should he chose to play that role instead, or even additionally(!) - since most days he will go to rest with spells to spare. [/LIST] Bottom line he is currently overshadowing the rest, who feel underachieving. [Again, I know this won't be the case in a few levels, but for now he seems godlike.] Nevertheless, thanks for your insights! PS. Fortunatelly he is not using Blur (yet), just a mirror image every now and then ;p [/QUOTE]
