[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8174161, member: 6855259"] I never said she was a melee fighter. Often I don't even attack and just take the dodge action. I said she will survive in melee longer than a fighter. Bladesinger has a better AC, more defensive spells and at higher levels effectively more hit points. If she and an EK with similar ability scores are in battle the same number or rounds and get targeted the same number of times with identical attacks of the appropriate CR and average rolls it will take more rounds to push her to 0 hp. To turn that upside down - If bladesinger and EK are fighting an enemy in melee, the EK has far better melee attacks and more melee attacks. If she and an EK with similar ability scores are fighting an enemy of the appropriate CR and average rolls the EK has a much better chance of winning the fight outright, will always finish a melee fight quicker and as a result will be targeted less during the course of the battle. Both of the above statements are undeniably true. [/QUOTE]
