Bladesinger as Template

Aug 22, 2011 21:20:05 Say we take the bladesinger and cut out the wizard part, instead allowing any arcane class to use it as a template. Specifically, one of my players wants to be a minotaur warlock bladesinger, using strength for his melee basic attacks and taking the constitution-based warlock encounters as dailies instead of wizard powers. He'd also be using an axe or hammer, and his available implements would be rods and wands. Otherwise, everything stays the same.

It seems reasonable to me, but can it be broken?

PS - Please don't just point me towards the hexblade.

I don't have the neverwinter book yet, and am not convinced I should spend money on it, is the bladesinger enough different that it would still be a blade singer after these mods and not just a hex-blade add-on?
