Class Features

All of the following are features of the bladesinger prestige class:

Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
Bladesingers gain no proficiency with any weapon. They gain proficiency with light armor, but not with shields.
Spells Per Day:
At every odd numbered level gained in the bladesinger class. The character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class.
Bladesong Style (Ex):
When wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other), a bladesinger gains a dodge bonus to armor class equal to her class level, up to a maximum of her intelligence bonus. If the bladesinger wears medium or heavy armor, she loses all benefits of the bladesong style.
Lesser Spellsong (Ex):
When wielding a lonsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other), a bladesinger of 2nd level or higher can take 10 when making a Concentration check to cast defensively.
Song of Celerity (Ex):
Once per day, a bladesinger of 4th level or higher may Quicken a single spell of up to 2nd level, as if she had used the Quicken Spell Feat, but without any adjustments to the spell’s effective level or casting time. She may only use this ability when wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other). At 8th level, she can Quicken a single spell of to 4th level.
Greater Spellsong (Ex):
A bladesinger of 6th level or higher ignores arcane spell failure chances when wearing light armor.
Song of Fury (Ex):
When a 10th level bladesinger makes a full attack with a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other), she can make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack and each other attack made in that round take a -2 penalty. This penalty applies for one round, so it also effects attack of opportunity the bladesinger might make before her next action.
