[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6825517, member: 20564"] It seems to me that the weakness of a number of forms is AC, so between Mage Armor and +Int to AC it would really shore up that weakness. If I can keep the wildshapes alive longer, the physical stats that are replaced seem less important. I don't even need Con for concentration saves while wildshaped since that uses the beast Con. And at that point it's only 4 more levels (of full caster even) to get Extra Attack instead of 5 levels elsewhere, if I want to go that route. And that would give 3rd level spells like Haste - so an attack with one big attack I could do 3 times (2 with Extra attack, 1 more for Haste.) Thematically, all of the bladesinger styles are based off of animals, and uses a variety of weapons to match the animal's attacks, not just swords (SCAG pg 142 sidebar). Much like a monk can carry over it's knowledge of martial arts to help an animal defend itself better which no one questions, I wouldn't see a problem with this. But it's something to keep in mind, worth checking it out with my DM before playing. It's not an optimal build, but I think it's a viable build. The problem is that I'm really relying on wildshape for combat, and with missing druid levels is that sustainable at the mid and high levels. Missing 2, likely. Missing 6, much bigger question.
