Bladesinger DnD 5R PHB2024 Changes

Updates Bladesinger Wizard with the various DnD 5R changes from Unearthed Arcana 2025 for an improved and more fun gameplay experience with better quality of life. These official changes are expected to be released to the public near the end of 2025. This mod is based on the information and testing material available to the public and fans on this upcoming 2025 revision. This mod obviously requires Patch 8, the mod where Bladesinger was officially added to the game. This mod is compatible with Level 20 mods.

Here is an official DnD video talking about it (time-stamped at 39:35 where Bladesinger talk starts):

List of Changes

• []At Level 2:

  []You can choose one of the following skills to be Proficient in: Acrobatics, Athletics, Performance or Persuasion, instead of being forced to pick Performance.[/]

  []You gain proficiency with the following weapons: all Simple Weapons, all Martial Weapons that are NOT Two-Handed or Heavy category.[/]

  []Bladesinger Animations have been extended to more weapon types (only when one-handing and assuming you are using the RAW Patch optional file): Mace, Morningstar, Club, Light Hammer, Quarterstaff, Handaxe, War Pick, and Warhammer.[/]

  []Bladesong changes:

  • []Revamped Bladesong weapon detection so it still works when dual-wielding as long as at least one of your two melee weapons is Bladesong-compatible.[/]

    []The number of uses of Bladesong scales with your Intelligence modifier, instead of being tied to Proficiency Bonus.[/]

    []The Bladesong Bonus to Constitution Saving Throws scales with your Intelligence modifier, instead of being tied to Proficiency Bonus, and is only active while Concentrating.[/]

    []The Bladesong Bonus to Armor Class scales with your Intelligence modifier, instead of being tied to Proficiency Bonus.[/]

    []The number of Bladesong Power (amount of times you can use Bladesong) scales with your Intelligence modifier, instead of being tied to Proficiency Bonus. [/]

    []You can regain one use of Bladesong Power when you use Arcane Recovery of any level (only Once Per Long Rest).[/]

    []Added a single Bonus Action Point cost to initiating Bladesong.[/]

    []While Bladesong is active, now both of your melee weapons get infused with Bladework, a new weapon boost.

    []This new passive ability makes your weapon attack and damage rolls scale with your Intelligence modifier. You can toggle this ability on or off at any time with the passive of the same name.

  [/]

  []At Level 6:

  • []The Extra Attack Feature now also includes the passive called ''Song of War'', which allows you to cast a Cantrip in exchange of either of your two attacks.[/]

    []DISCLAIMER: The Song of War feature requires you to install my DnD 5R War Magic and Improved War Magic mod from NexusMods (make sure to use the latest version of that mod). That mod was carefully crafted by me with fine-tuned logic over a long period of time, it's one of my most polished mods. In DnD 5R, both Eldritch Knights' War Magic and Bladesingers' Extra Attack works the exact same way, that's why I'm integrating that mod's functionality into this subclass. If you don't use that mod, nothing bad will happen, you will just have the standard Extra Attack without the Song of War feature. Load this mod before the DnD 5R War Magic mod preferably.

    [/]

    []At level 12 (or Level 14 if using the optional file):

    • []You unlock the new Song of Victory feature. This feature allows you to do a melee weapon attack with your equipped weapon using a Bonus Action after you cast a Cantrip or Spell using an Action.

    [/]

    Extra optional changes part of the additional ''RAW Patch'':

    []Added Proficiency with all Martial Weapons that are not Two-Handed or Heavy category to Bladesinger.[/]

    [*]Relaxed weapon restrictions from Bladesong: now you can use any weapon with Bladesong as long as it's not Two-Handed or Heavy, but you still can't be unarmed. Versatile weapons are compatible but only i
