[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7238897, member: 6802604"] Saw a thread like this some time ago, something about the Bladesinger being overpowered because of the high armor class on a full caster. I felt it was nonsense then, my opinion hasn't changed. High armor class isn't an issue, do something other than target their AC, problem solved. And they're melee damage isn't top notch. Top notch melee damage it what you get from fighters, barbarians and paladins who crank their strength and pick up GWM. Bladesingers are passable in melee and quite frankly any Bladesinger swinging a weapon instead of casting spells is doing themself a disservice. They can certainly hold their own more than other wizards, but they're still wizards first and foremost and any turn they spend swinging a rapier and not slinging a spell is almost always going to be a turn they did their enemies a favor. Maybe I'm wrong, entirely possible, this is all my opinion at the end of the day, but I see no problem here. [/QUOTE]
