alright well i found myself decidedly dissapointed with the bladesinger found in complete warrior while also feeling the one from Races of Faerun was a bit overpowered in its song of celerity ability. Bellow is my attempt at reworking the prc to make it slightly more in line with many other 'Gish' PRCs.
All feedback would be greatly appreciated!

requirements:
keep them the same as those in complete warrior but re add the still spell feat

hit dice: d8
skills: 2+ Int mod

level fort ref will Ability Caster level
1 +0 +2 +2 Bladesong Style +1
2 +0 +3 +3 Bonus feat +1
3 +1 +3 +3 Lesser SpellSong +1
4 +1 +4 +4 Song Of Celerity (2nd) -
5 +1 +4 +4 +1
6 +2 +5 +5 Greater Spellsong +1
7 +2 +5 +5 Bonus Feat +1
8 +2 +6 +6 Song Of Celerity (4th) -
9 +3 +6 +6 +1
10 +3 +7 +7 Song Of Fury +1

All abilities follow the rules as seen in complete warrior

i opted to give them two bonus feats instead of three like the one in Races of Faerun because the third feat seamed a little over powered.
Feats that could be taken would be those found in races of faerun.

I decided to go with no caster incread on the song of celerity levels as they are arguably the most powerful ability the bladesinger gets.

as far as requirements go i figured adding still spell back in may be a good idea as the power level for the class has increased a bit and requirements should reflect this... alternatly i could make weapon finess a requirement and have 'graceful edge' as a bonus feat. for details on this feat check crystal keeps tomb of official feats. basically allows any one handed slashing weapon to be used with weapon finess so long is nothing is in the other hand and it also grants +2 to AC - seems perfect for a bladesinger.

comments? feedback? suggestions?
