[QUOTE="Pathkeeper24601, post: 6927470, member: 6819969"] This was AL, so skeleton's don't carry over week to week and desecrating graveyards for materials would be considered both Evil and non-Lawful (outside of scope allowed AL alignments). The player in question was good at self-limiting and found 3-4 just fine in most cases. Enough to make use of the class feature, but not enough that it takes away focus the rest of the party. Usually if they faced humanoids he could flay two bodies for skeletons during a short rest if he didn't take the rest himself. Otherwise he got zombies. This usually fell in line with what the rest of the party could stomach without setting off the serious clerics or paladins. As far as Bladesinger goes (since this is the subject) it looks like a fun class. It sits on one end of the spectrum of gish with Eldritch Knight on the other. It seems to fit more on the "fun" than "power" side of being a caster and will probably appeal more there. Kind of odd that the best cantrips for become less useful at 6th. Starts off a bit more survivable at lower levels than a lot of the other Wizard classes. A friend of mine complains that it would be good if it allowed GWF or PAM with it since to him that is the only type of melee. [/QUOTE]
