Blade Singer

Bladesingers are elven arcane spellcasters who blend magic and martial combat. They fight with graceful sword techniques while subtly casting spells. As skilled artists, warriors, and magic users, bladesingers are respected leaders in elven society who protect elf communities as traveling guardians. Their magic abilities are diminished compared to other spellcasters but they gain martial prowess with their chosen weapon.

Bladesingers are elves who have blended art, swordplay, and arcane magic into a harmonious whole.

In battle, a bladesingers lithe movements and subtle tactics seem beautiful, belying their deadly martial efficiency. Bladesingers have a treasured place in elf society, balancing the joys of art and magic with the skill of masterful fighting, and so bladesingers are well-respected by other elves. They usually serve as itinerant guardians and champions of the elf community at large rather than tying themselves to one particular settlement. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A bladesinger is proficient in simple weapons and in a single one-handed martial or exotic bladed melee weapon of his choice. A bladesinger is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers normal arcane spell failure chance when casting magus spells while armored. Diminished Spellcasting: A bladesinger may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level. Bladesong (Ex): At 1st level, when a bladesinger is wielding his chosen weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his chosen weapon may be of any type. Weapon Focus (Ex): At 1st level, a bladesinger gains Weapon Focus with his chosen weapon as a bonus feat. Fighter Training (Ex): Starting at 7th level, a bladesinger counts his magus level -3 as his fighter level for the purpose of qualifying for feats (if he has levels in fighter, these levels stack), but forfeits the benefit of such feats with weapons other than his favored weapon. This ability replaces knowledge pool. Lesser Spellsong (Ex): At 7th level, a bladesinger when wielding his chosen weapon in one hand (and nothing in the other), the bladesinger can take 10 when making a Concentration check to cast defensively. This ability replaces medium armor. Greater Spellsong (Ex): At 13th level, a bladesinger gains proficiency with light armor. A bladesinger can cast magus spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a bladesinger wearing medium armor, heavy armor, or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. This ability replaces heavy armor. Song of Fury (Ex): At 16th level, when wielding his chosen weapon in one hand (and nothing in the other) and using the full attack action, the bladesinger can make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack, but this attack and each other attack made that round take a 2 penalty. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it affects attacks of opportunity the bladesinger might make before her next action. This ability replaces counterstrike. Weapon Mastery (Ex): At 20th level, a bladesinger gains weapon mastery with his favored weapon, as the fighter class ability. This ability replaces true magus. Magus Arcana: The following magus arcana complement the bladesinger archetype: accurate strike, concentrate, critical strike, hasted assault, quickened magic, still magic, spell shield.
