Yes, I know the bladespell powers all have a slight control rub added on to them and a bladesinger's dailies are all wizard encounter powers (that, one would assume, offer controller benefits), but that's not what the class and native paragon path promote. A Wizard (Bladesinger) is a striker that somehow got inexplicity labeled a controller and wasn't fixed in editing or playtest. A Wizard (Arcanist) or Wizard (Mage) is what a controller should be. After all what has the Waterdeepians done for us, besides building roads, aqueducts, and laws?Įxcept it's not. Its not mass wizard control, its more like the opposite of the monk, which is STRIKER with a pinch of control and the bladeslinger is CONTROL with a pinch of striker (that is what one of the other players said about my PC after the first encounter was done).Īs for Neverwinter being dead, it was functionally wiped out during the spellplague but some staid on despite the trouble and now some "lord" from Waterdeep is throwing his weight around and being all competent like the Romans in Life of Brian which has the locals in a tizzy. But really where they shine is the ability to inflict conditions on the target of your basic attack or another target within 10 squares.
The damage output is definitely not striker level, but respectable. Eldarins with their "bamf" and elves with their "fancy-footwork" definitely make it easier to get gone when close contact is less desirable. I would definitely not stand and fight with a bladesinger, that would be a quick death. I think it is a great complement to the swordmage which is more "fightery" than "magey." Bladesingers are more magey than fightery but still use a weapon more than a straight wizard. He is a human who has given up his own identity and can now shift form with a thought to better "execute" his divine mistresses' bidding.īack to the Bladesinger. Martin's A Game of Thrones series and my human PC has given himself completely over to the Raven Queen as an instrument of fate. I am basically take the concept of the Faceless Ones from George R.R. I am about to play in a homebrew campaign and I am re-skinning the changling race for my PC. from the simple, in my campaign bladesinging is widely known and taught by all peoples to the more arcane "my samurai has learned to wield his blade with magic and now his very movement is a dance with his katana." Then again, re-skinning a concept is pretty damn easy.
What does this mean? In FR and Neverwinter if a non-elven/eladrin bladesinger exists, then it better be a good story.
Fluff: Strongly elves and eladrin only with some exceptions for half-elves.
