블레이드싱어 Bladesinger

Bladesingers are elves who have blended art, swordplay, and arcane magic into a harmonious whole. In battle, a bladesinger the movements and subtle tactics seem beautiful, and belie their deadly martial efficiency.
Bladesingers command great respect in most elf communities and usually serve as itinerant guardians and champions of the elf community at large.
Multiclassed fighter/wizards can become bladesingers most easily, though any elf who can wield a martial weapon and can cast arcane spells can become a bladesinger. Bladesinging ranger/wizards, rogue/wizards and bladesinger bards are not unknown.

  The bladesinger gains proficiency in the use of no weapons and with light armor.
  If the bladesinger wears medium or heavy armor, he loses all benefits of any of his song abilities (bladesong, lesser spellsong, song of celerity, greater spellsong, song of fury).
  A bladesinger suffers the normal arcane spell failure chance when casting spells while armored (except as noted in the class features below).
• Bladesong
  When wielding your sword of choice (usually a longsword) in one hand, and nothing in the other, the bladesinger gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to his Intelligence Modifier.
• Bonus Feats
  At 2nd, 5th, and 8th level, the Bladesinger gains a bonus feat or combat maneuver. They must be chosen from the following list: Combat Reflexes, Improved Critical (weapon of choice), Improved Disarm, Mobility, Quick Draw, Spring Attack, and Whirlwind Attack.
• Lesser Spellsong
  When wielding a longsword in one hand (and nothing in the other), the bladesinger can 뱓ake 10?when making a Concentration check to cast defensively.
• Song of Celerity
  When performing a Full Attack, a Bladesinger may cast a spell during that round as a free action, so long as it is chosen from the Bladesinger spell list (see below).
• Greater Spellsong
  The Bladesinger may now ignore arcane spell failure chances while wearing light armor.
• Song of Fury
  When making a Full Attack, the Bladesinger may make one extra attack during the round at the full attack bonus, though all attacks made during the round are made with a -2 penalty.
  This penalty applies for 1 round, so it affects attacks of opportunity the bladesinger might make before his next action.

  A bladesinger뭩 bonus spells are based on Intelligence. The DC for saving throws against bladesinger spells is 10 + the spell뭩 level + the bladesinger뭩 Intelligence modifier.
