Finally! It's time to update the Bladesinger, which is both the character I've had the most fun playing in D&D, and also the one that was most impacted by the changes from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Interested in doing *amazing* sustainable damage each round while also having access to the best spell list in all of D&D? Then you want to be a Bladesinger. Come find out why.
