[QUOTE="Cbas10, post: 1293429, member: 6459"] I actually really like this. Front-loading a bunch of crap in the first level or two of a class made the concept of advancing in a certain clas or two pointless. I'm not sure what the Bladesinger from RoF looked like, but I agree that there should be a bit more to this ability. Maybe something like an additional use at 6th, 8th, and 10th levels. I would also say that one could not use Song of Fury and Song of Celerity in the same round. I strongly favor this version of spellcasting advancement. It more accurately represents the character's dual focus and blend of swordsmanship and sorcery; he is not developing NEW magical skills, merely building upon what he already has. In my opinion and games, only base classes get unique spell lists, and prestige classes always build upon the classes that got them into the prestige class. It would really depend on how I felt the various rules fit within my game. I would generally allow the player to keep the version he started with, but I would give him the option of "switching over" unless too many prerequisites changed. In that case, I would just say something in the setting allowed/caused two versions of the same concept to sprout. For example, if the 1 free quickened spell/round is an accurate statement regarding the RoF version, I most definitely would have stayed with the older TaB version, pretending the RoF version "did not exist."
