That would mean the warblade can perform 8 attacks (TSS) + 2 attacks (RM) + 1 possible attack (haste) for a total of 11 attacks per round.
#Warblade maneuvers and stances full#
I was wondering, can a Warblade stack Time stands still with Raging Mongoose? Time stands still has an initiation action of one full round action while Raging Mongoose has an initiation time of a swift action. If you really want to multiclass, I would instead go whole-hog on it, angling for master of the nine, using the Carmendine Monk feat to swap Wisdom to AC for Intelligence to AC, possibly dipping swashbuckler or factotum for more Int-SADness, or cleric to ease the feat requirements for master of the nine.As some of us know, the warblade is an interesting class with a wide variety of maneuvers to complement his already brokenly powerful statistics. I think the value of multiclassing into swordsage is quite enough to justify itself at any level but 20th, where it means giving up dual stance. So personally, I think the benefits of this multiclassing are somewhat less than you imagine. Actually, it’s completely obviated by the fact that the single-classed warblade approach nets you +1 BAB more. +1 attack bonus is just not remotely important at that level.Another +3 is a decent wodge but not incredible. It’s certainly nice but it’s not the be-all, end-all by 20th level when you have +6 base, possibly +2-ish from ability scores (enhancement bonuses to ability scores start to become quite affordable even for dump stats), and +5 from a cloak of resistance. At 20th, these represent fairly small improvements in these saves.Extra stances are minor in the extreme you can only use one at a time for the most part, and you’ll already have that.
Initiative is, of course, critical, but +1 isn’t a huge bump.So I’d say that having action before thought and mind over matter would be nice, but not amazingly valuable.Īnd while island of blades and assassin’s stance are very nice, it’s not as though the warblade lacks for strong stances. Your Concentration check may well be higher than your Fortitude save, but not by nearly as much as for your Will save. Reflex saves are usually the least dire (by a fair margin), and while Fortitude saves matter a good deal, they are also a good save for you and use the same ability score (Constitution). Action before thought and mind over matter are. Moment of perfect mind is the important one. Is the temporary power boost of all those save counters worth the snubbing of a full warblade? Get access to my favorite stances, Island of Blades and Assassin's Stance. Can have all three concentration save counters ready in addition to regular warblade maneuvers.Ģ. Slows down warblade one (or two) levels, (access, maneuvers, stances).ġ. Lose out on double warblade stances capstone at 20.ģ. Inspiration hit! What if I dipped two levels of swordsage at levels 9 and 10!ġ. The original plan was to just take Warblade through all 20 levels. I am completely fine with it as he is a terrifically fun character to play.) (Obviously I am nerfing him a bunch with no big weapon, low STR, or power attack. He is a swashbuckler in spirit, focused on Ironheart, Tiger Claw, and Diamond Mind Maneuvers. He is a mobile DEX fighter, happy to use a rapier. Here is a link to my level 7 Warblade, Vesuvio Monteverdi.
