@ProfSiccusDoes a Bladesinger need to have his or her weapon in hand in order to utilize the Bladesong ability? No.

Bladesong doesn't require concentration. Its description would say if it did. #DnD https://t.co/7KtatKlOrR

@JeremyECrawford Bladesong's description doesn't seem to say that the bladesinger must be wielding a weapon to invoke it; is one required?
