Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The bladesinger gains no weapon proficiency but does gain proficiency
with light armor. If the bladesinger wears medium or heavy armor, she loses all benefits of any of her song
abilities (lesser bladesong, lesser spellsong, song of celerity, greater spellsong, and song of fury). A bladesinger
suffers the normal arcane spell failure chance when casting spells while armored (except as noted below).

Bladesong (Ex): When wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other), the bladesinger
gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to her class level, up to a maximum of her Intelligence or Charisma bonus. If a
bladesinger wears medium or heavy armor, she loses all benefits of the bladesong style.

Bonus Feats: At 2nd, 5th, and 8th level, the bladesinger gets a bonus feat. These feats must be drawn from
the following list: any Metamagic feat, Combat Reflexes,  Improved Critical (longsword), Improved Disarm, 
Mobility, Quick Draw, Spring Attack, and Whirlwind Attack

Lesser Spellsong (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, when wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing
in the other), the bladesinger can take 10 when making a Concentration check to cast defensively.

Song of Celerity (Su): Starting at 4th level, when wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in
the other) and using the full attack action, the bladesinger can cast one arcane spell of 1st or 2nd level with a
casting time of 1 action or less each round as a free action. At 6th level, she can cast any spell of 3rd level or
lower in this manner. At 9th level, she can cast any spell of 4th level or lower in this manner

Greater Spellsong (Ex): Starting at 7th level, the bladesinger ignores arcane spell failure when wearing light
armor.

Song of Fury (Ex): At 10th level, when wielding a longsword or rapier 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.
 Spellcasting: At each odd level, the bladesinger gains new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and
spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which she
belonged before adding the prestige class level. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that
class would have gained.
