[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6808935, member: 12731"] After reading through this again, I really must say how regrettable your hang-up on Bladesingers is. Your Wizard guide, I think, got a lot of attention because of a positive and self-assured attitude, almost cocky even. A lot of this credibility is unfortunately lost when the Bladesinger issue turns your tone into a mopey whiney voice. I really would wish that you reevaluate your stance on the SCAG additions. You would win so much by embracing what's actually there and how beneficial the options are for your God Wizard concept, instead of playing a Champion of Lost Causes. I can't get around the fact that you need to consider hard whether your wishes for the Bladesinger are even justifiable. I could be wrong, but it sure reads as if you expect a class to have both fighter-class melee damage output AND 9th level spells, and when SCAG doesn't give you this, you need to be dragged screaming and kicking into giving the individual options the good ratings they deserve, but always with negative baggage attached. As a single example, you give the “Traditional” Bladesinger (Wizard X) a red rating. Red. For a class with full spellcasting options and access to level 9 wizard spells. Red meaning "bad or nearly useless". To me, that tells me you wrote that in an emotional state. And it clashes bad with the rational and analytical tone of the rest of your guide. Therefore I would wish that you take a happy moment to completely rewrite your SCAG addendum, when you're able to find that self-assured God Wizard voice again :) Regards, Zapp [/QUOTE]
