The problem is that you can’t play a game if you don’t understand the rules as written or rules as intended you get these weird imbalances in the game. I understand modifying a rule to better fit the table since I do that with rules are table agrees that have an issue. In RAW sometimes there are rules that make no sense. Help action for example.Bladesong says that it stops working if you use medium or heavy armor and/or a shield. It’s so the AC balances out around 25 if you had +3 armor or shield.Bladesinger = Studded +3, INT+5, DEX+515+5+5=25Fighter 15 STR Plate +3, Shield +321+5=26Now this isn’t calculating Feats or Fighting Styles, but it’s like this so it caps out at a certain limit, but you can get way higher then this if you wanted to.Bladesong Description You can use a bonus action to start the Bladesong, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the Bladesong at any time you choose (no action required).While your Bladesong is active, you gain the following benefits:• You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).• Your walking speed increases by 10 feet.• You have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.• You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell. The bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).You can use this feature twice. You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.No Greatsword usage or armor other then Light.EDIT: In Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything it changed it where the Bladesong usage is proficiency bonus per long rest, at least according to rumor.</blockquote>
