[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7116016, member: 6786252"] Not quite. Even in the case of the Skald Bard, who get 6th level spells, they also get a direct combat boost in the form of Magical Secrets (smites and ranger bow-spells) at level 10. Likewise, Moon Druid gets Elemental shapes. Non-homebrew blade'lock gets Lifedrinker at 12 (not only unlocks the Invocation, but you get another Invocation slot). Couple that with the :):):):) spells for a gish in the Mystic Arcanum is grossly problematic. Bladesingers and clerics who wait until 14 can supplement their damage with Planar Ally on top of Spirit Guardian, or Haste / or Elemental Weapon. There is no equivalent for the blade'lock. Actually, no, there is kind of the equivalent, but its found at level 14 and you kind of cut it out. Normally, level 14 fiend'blade locks also got another power boost on top of the blade bonus - Hurl through Hell. That's completely missing now as well, as is Dark Delierium. Dark Delierium can kind of be replaced with the extra Mystic Arcana in Tome, which is fine. Create Thrall has been integrated into Chain. But we're still missing equivalent power boosts for Blade. *shrugs* Just talking about what I did, not saying you should do it. [/QUOTE]
