D&D 5e / Bladesinger Build
« on: November 24, 2015, 09:24:58 PM »
I am starting at level 3 in a campaign and was looking at a Bladesinger (bought SCAG and wanted to use Something out of it at least). I am a little worried about durability issues so I was considering starting 1 level of Barbarian or Monk for the Con or Wis to AC. I was leaning Barbarian because of the Con saves and extra HP at first level. Monk would make me awfully MAD and my con save would be horrible, but the bonus attack would be a nice option. And it just feels weird to be wasting the rage option, probably would just use it for flavor generally speaking since can't cast or concentrate.
Barbarian1/Wizard 4 Moon Elf would give me 23 AC when bladesinging (with mage armor) and +9 to Con saves which seems pretty good. I suppose sorc would make some sense too for con saves and not losing out on spell progression, could save some spell slots by going draconic bloodline and the progression if I wanted to take a couple more levels of sorc and get metamagic would be much better... but I am so tempted by that 23 AC - How bad would it be?
