Hmm.. it could be a play on "4th dimension", a.k.a. "Planescape replacement".. one could make a case for that...

Not if it was March 31st tonight (and it's not)... betcha they try that with "5th edition" this spring :) Hopefully Morris won't have to sign a 24-hour NDA.. *hopes*

If you mean WB @ 1st and 2nd, some other class @ 3rd, 4th, then WB @ 5th, 6th, then yes, you'll be able to get a 3rd lvl stance at 6th lvl (WB 4).. then again, you're only a WB 4 instead of WB 6, and at 20th lvl, you'll miss out on Stance Mastery as well as a 7th readied maneuver and the 13th...

I considered it, and maybe I'll go that route if I refactor the pc at some future point, but for now given that he's advancing as Warblade and not Swordsage, it doesn't really apply.

Yep, excellent rolls (for once!) + high con + con item equivalent.. Superior Unarmed Strike won't make a huge difference true, but it will make a difference, especially later on, which is when I intend on taking it. I don't plan on taking any more Monk levels, that would be counterproductive...

I considered that, but then I wouldn't have gotten the unarmed combat stuff. If I hadn't been going for that, then I very likely would have chosen rogue instead.

True, but I didn't go that route, because Wis = 9.. and in part because actual physical items are quite limited (think mesoamerican bronze age tech)... one reason I went the "unarmed specialist" route, and monk fit right into that.. (was WAY worth the tradeoff of losing 1 maneuver level, and the...

I want to add that Weapon Aptitude has been a non-issue. To make use of it in a way that would be worth the investment in feats would significantly lower his effectiveness in other ways.. I do think though that Fighters should have it (an expanded version of it even).. and the 1 ftr feat/lvl for...

Yep, that's right. I know this, since I'm the Warblade in said campaign :) There's also some oddness in that magic items in his campaign use a completely different system, so that's bound to have effects on the balance.

Oops! Yes, you're right of course. I missed that.

I've bolded the relevant bits. Doesn't this mean that even though you get 2 spells @ 4th, you can't use one of them, because the maximum level is still 1st @ 4th? WOTC really ought to proofread their stuff better.. I'd think it wouldn't cost them anything, as I expect they could get many eager...

That's not quite what I meant.. more that a caster does his fiery burst which affects up to 4 opponents.. but a barbarian's attack isn't necessarily one opponent, could also be a bunch of opponents as well in that round (and you could also factor in attacks of opporunity as well).. And yeah...

Also, the barbarian can damage more than one opponent too (Cleave/Great Cleave/Whirlwind Attack, and Supreme Cleave if one adds certain PrCs)

*laughs*.. well, I wouldn't have except that I'm kinda bored too ;)

*shakes head*.. maybe you should prep some more for tomorrow's game if you're THAT bored ;) I play a cleric in a different campaign which has this feat, and I don't find it overpowered. It fits in with his character concept very well, and it gives him a modest ranged capability where otherwise...
