Proficiencies: You gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.
Bardic Music: Bladesinger levels stack with levels of bard for determining rounds per day and if your performance is a standard, move, or swift action.
Inspire Courage: Bladesinger levels stack with levels of bard for determining the bonus granted by Inspire Courage.
Fighter Feat: Bladesinger gains access to fighter feats. Levels in bladesinger stack with levels in Fighter for determining what feats you have access to. If you don't have levels in fighter your bladesinger level equals your effective fighter level.
Resonance: You can attune your voice to your melee weapon by starting a bardic performance. For each round you maintain your performance you deal the indicated amount of sonic damage with each successful melee attack.
Arcane Bond: You form an arcane bond with your weapon. This is identical to the Wizard feature but you must choose a weapon you are proficient with.
Deadly Song: Whenever you use your resonance ability or cast a spell with the sonic descriptor you can reroll any damage dice that come up as a 1 or a 2.


Seems nifty. However, the last time I encountered a Bladesinger was in 2e AD&D.

Maybe add a requirement of "FEAT: Weapon Focus <Any sword>"?
