I'd take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what's going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent throws there's always a counter shot or two which you have to be ready to fire or defend. |

| How are we supposed to decide? We know nothing about these characters except their names, really, nor do we know why you are torn about them. Why not just pick randomly? |

Kinda what I was thinking. I'd need to know more about the characters then just the little info that was supplied. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| Go with the bladesinger. I also agree with my fellow scribes, give us some more info into your dilema. |

I'm personally very pro-ranger, but then again the bladesinger would be kinda cool.
As to your concepts, are you an archer/sniper type or a front line fighter type. These choices make up what I'd suggest. Personally, in order to do BOTH and be good at both, I'd go ranger. I merely remind you that CotSQ is going to eat you alive for being a non-drow elf.
As to the Drow, I dunno... I don't particularly like to play them, so I can't give you a good opinion. All I can say is if you want to play it, play it and play it well.

There is the posibility to run the adventure as a drow adventure, but what of the other players, the story and so on? Why would a drow be engaged from Randal Morn when the problem is a drow raid into Daggerdale (one of big the story lines to enter the plot)? Give us some more to help you  |

I'm running the CotSQ right now with a six character party. So far they're doing pretty well. Got a Male dwarf Ftr/Clr/Hammer of Moradin, a female dwarf Clr of Moradin, a male halfling (shadow walker) rog, a female human pal/pious templar of Tyr, a male human warmage, and a male human rog/ftr/sor.
Like Darkmeer, I'd also remind you that any non-drow elf in the party is going to be a serious challenge to keep alive. I let my players know this and they wisely (IMO) chose what they chose. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

| If it was my choice, I'd play a moon elf fighter/mage rather than a bladesinger, unless you want to get deeply into bladesinger lore. |

Thats how I feel. The real ? is what other classes are in your party. |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

| the others in our party are a psy-war and a warlock/enlightened spirit |
I'd take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what's going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent throws there's always a counter shot or two which you have to be ready to fire or defend. |

| Play a red wizard necromancer and then ally with the dark elf Kiaransaleean against your party in exchange for necromantic secrets. |
