[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8138315, member: 2629"] If you have a fun character concept that requires a rule tweak, and it does not result in the balance of the game breaking, just ask the DM. Many DMs will realize it won't cause a problem and will allow you to just have the fun you want to have. Some will tell you no. That may be a sign that they're more interested in their idea of fun than yours. In those situations, you should expect to be constrained in your options, and may expect that they'll make rulings during the game that seem problematic. Those things have a pretty high correlation in my experience. If they're concerned with the rules being abusive, suggest that you be given a magic staff that has only one magic property - to be used by a Bladesinger. That will allow the DM to control whether you can find other items that can be used by a Bladesinger later on, allowing them to use that as a power control level. Too strong? Well, then you find no other magic weapons that can be used by your Bladesigner. Fairly powered? They can add magical quarterstaffs with this ability and others. [/QUOTE]
