Hi all,
My game group recently returned to 3.5 and would like some advice on a new character I was making. My DM knew my love of anime so pointed me to a book that was released after I left D&D. As you can guess I loved Tome of Battle but it is a bit confusing on the first few reads.
The Meat of the Thread:
1) Would it be unbalancing for the Swordsage to have a High BAB? It's the one thing that really puzzles me on this class.
2) I would like some advice on initial stances and manoeuvres:
For my two stances, I am waffling between:
Hunter's Sense, Flame's Blessing and Island of Blades.
Flame's blessing is fairly a lock. (Main thing I am going for is long term usability.) Hunter's sense looks good for the same reason but Island of Blades is tempting, I just don't know how good it will be in the long term.
For manoeuvres, I would like your opinion on:
Burning Blade
Moment of Perfect Mind or Sapphire Nightmare Blade
Counter Charge or Mighty Throw
Stone Bones
Shadow Blade Technique
Wolf Fang Strike (Needed for Hunter's Sense, Although I don't really intend on being a TWF.)
I would like to have one manoeuvre from each discipline (Mo9 in the making and in the RP) but I am not completely set on that.
