Elven Songswords (D&D) | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

Sorry, where do you get 'songswords' from? Also maybe get this moved to the 5E forum, it gets a lot more traffic!

But, as far as I know, there is no specific style or non-standard type of sword used by bladesingers. In DnD elves have always been longsword users, in the sense of DnD longsword, a one handed sword. So any sort of one handed sword that you think elves would wield, traditionally (pre 5E) bladesinging required a longsword, that was their signature weapon.

So bladesingers are mentioned in some 1E FR books, but not much that I know of.

First rules I know of is a 'kit' (thin 'martial tradition' or 'arcane subclass') in 2E, the first pic of a bladesinger I know of is this from 3E Races of Faerun

There's this figure from the 3E miniatures range

Note that the first has a normal looking sword, the figure more of a curved blade

This guy is from the 4E Neverwinter Campaign setting...
