[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8938251, member: 7030563"] S17 D16 C9 I20 W5 CH11 That is at 1st level after ability bonuses (+1 dex, +2 intelligence). I thought about putting the +1 in con but I decided the AC with Dex would be better. I am probably going to take the Weapon master feat and boost strength at level 4 and pick up a hand crossbow and whatever 1-handed magic melee weapons we have found by that point (or a morning star if we don't have magic weapons since I just think that sounds cool and I have never used one in game). After that I will probably get dex ASIs. I might also try to work in skill expert-Stealth and boost con to 10. I have played a lot of bladesingers, but this is the first one I have played with a high strength (and the only one I played that started with a 20 in anything or less than a 6 in anything). It is not the only one I played with a 9 con though. I've done that before and it is workable, you just need to get and use false life a lot, and with a low con in the past it was not on a Goblin where I can disengage as a bonus action. Bladesinger is a really felxible character. You can play as a back line caster Wizard with some extra defense and mobility, you can play as a Gish striker mixing sword and spells offensively with things like Shadowblade or you can play as a melee tank using defensive spells exclusively to boost your hps and AC so you dominate the front line and suck up enemy attacks (blur, PEG, false life, contingency, shield, Absorb Elements, Silvery Barbs). I usually do the last of those, but if you do that you usually can't concentrate on offensive spells or you will get taken to the cleaners because of your low hps. If you are taking 5-10 attacks a turn you really need blur or PEG up. [/QUOTE]
