But I’m really enjoying it, and it fights very differently from a fighter, because you can only use Bladesong in a couple of fights initially so you won’t have very high AC in every fight.
However, the beauty about Shadowblade is that you can use it to fight at range. You can throw it up to 20 feet with no issue. So you can skirmish / midline when you don’t have Bladesong or it’s a fight you don’t care to have Bladesong up.
This will work until you have 4+ bladesongs a day which should allow you to frontline fight in every encounter that matters.
