Songblade

[size=4][b]Description[/b][/size]
Within the weave of magic lies The Song — a melodic force few can hear. Most who hear it compose it into magic; the Songblade instead pours it through a single finesse blade, striking with a precision no ordinary fighter can match. Dexterity guides the edge; Charisma carries the Song. A rhapsody of symmetry in motion and deadly intent.

[size=4][b]Main features[/b][/size]
Level 3 — Choose the Songblade
• Songblade Fighting Style —  For any weapon that does not have the Two-Handed property, you use your Dexterity instead of your Strength for its Attack and Damage Rolls, and you also add your Charisma modifier to those rolls. This includes Versatile weapons such as Longswords, even while wielded in two hands.
• Enter the Song — As a Bonus Action, take up the Song: your maneuvers become available and you gain a bonus to Attack Rolls, Damage, and Armour Class. Each maneuver you use renews it, so it lasts as long as you keep fighting.
• Resonant Strike — A ringing, disorienting blow. Deal extra damage and leave the target Reeling, penalising its next Attack Roll.
• Song Step — Strike and slip away. Deal extra damage and Disengage, so moving won't provoke Opportunity Attacks.
• Sound Defense — A guarded strike. Deal extra damage and raise your Armour Class until your next turn.

Level 5
• Resonant Sweep — Sweep your blade in a wide arc, striking every enemy around you with a full weapon attack plus extra damage. Once per turn.
• Sound Reflect — When an enemy misses you with a melee attack, retaliate with a strike.

Level 7
• Song Sense — Add your Charisma Modifier to your Initiative, and you can no longer be Surprised.

Level 10
• Virtuosity — You have mastered the Song. While it flows, its bonus is doubled: a +2 bonus to Attack Rolls, Damage, and Armour Class.

THE SONG
The Song is your subclass resource — the number of times you can Enter the Song. You gain 3 uses at level 3, 4 at level 7, and 5 at level 10, all regained on a Long Rest. Your maneuvers sharpen as you grow, their bonus damage rising from a d8 to a d10 at level 10.

[size=4][b]Requirements[/b][/size]
- Baldur's Gate 3 (current patch)
- A mod manager: BG3 Mod Manager (recommended) OR the in-game mod menu.
Native and dependency-free — no Script Extender required. Choose the Songblade when your Fighter reaches level 3. Wield a single Finesse weapon with an empty off-hand to unlock the Fighting Style; Phalar Aluve is a particularly fitting blade.
