I suppose you may not be familiar with the expression "that's just crackers" meaning crazy/insane/weird.

Dance battles can be pretty intense and it can be "Murder on the Dance Floor" ... just ask Sophie Ellis Bexter

In all seriousness though, a lot of anime just doesn't enthrall me. Yes the stories are different but I find a lot of it too alien and don't enjoy it

There is so much anime that its hard to find shows or films that I can enjoy these days. there is also so much other stuff that you have to start to pick/priorotise what you want to do/watch/get into and leave a lot behind.

Getting back to Bladesingers though, it does seem to be a neat fit for Eilistraeens as a class kit for fighters. Yes there is the Darksong Knight but the art of Bladesinging seems more appros to the DarkDancer. She favours the Bastard Sword and is deadly and graceful with it. Combine that with clerical magic and that becomes quite a deadly character. The only draw back I saw with Eilistraeens is their shunning of missile weapons. Yes the priestesses get Magic Missile as a special spell at a certaiun level, which I can't recall right now but no other missile firepower does leave them at a distinct disadvantage

No matter how good a swordsman you are, someone with a bow will ping you eventually.
The historical allorgry is Roman Legions vs Parthian mounted archers. The Romans almost always lost in their encounters in open country as the Parthians [Persians] would dart in, pepper them with missile fire then wheel away when the legionaries tried to get into melee combat. The Mongol hordes also perfected this tactic which is why Genghis Khan was so successful.
And of course, THE classic battle in which bows/missiles prove to be the undisputed king of the battle field, Agincourt.
The flower of French chivarly [over 9000 it is reported] cut down in less than 30 minutes by no more than 2000 English bowmen.
So I think that Eilistraee might have to review her bias against missile weapons if she wants to get serious and actually WIN the war with Lolth.
