    Tome of Battle: Bo9S classes in actual play?

    The crusader kind of looked weak to me on paper, though that devout spirit stuff looked great. It just looked like the class abilities were...lacking. I've been surprised by how many people posted that they loved the crusader. Are there any parts of the class that you felt were really strong and...

    Tome of Battle: Bo9S classes in actual play?

    Oh, for pity's sake! Move the White Raven - Warmaster's charge discussion to a thread in the rules forum where you can endlessly obsess over it and let everyone else talk about something more interesting than rulemashing! You've been at it for about two pages already! Okay. That said... I...

    unarmed ninja?

    Unarmed. If you have access to the Tome of Battle you can use the unarmed Swordsage variation. You could probably do a ninja variant the same way, losing the poison proficiencies in favor of unarmed or something. The sudden strike would work as long as you did lethal damage rather than...

    Legacy Weapon Abilities Question

    So, how do you know which abilities you unlock when you perform the Least, Lesser, and Greater Legacy Rituals? They don't seem to be labeled, and I can't find anything definitive in the Weapons of Legacy. I thought that the dead levels might indicate the power levels, but they aren't all split...

    DM vs. PC's Question

    Contrariness. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was pixies. Evil little pixies poking at the great big nasty sword-man with their swords and spears as long as his hand. Would he even be able to hit the little things? Maybe I'm just contrary. I see something big and strong and...

    Help Me Challenge One Of My Players

    Ah, but does it have a bowstring of legacy, too? Those little suckers have to be replaced periodically, and they rot if they aren't oiled. And they snap so nicely. Though a clever spellcaster with a mending spell could fix it fairly easily, I imagine, or someone with a spare bowstring. :)

    Help Me Challenge One Of My Players

    True, punishing the guy isn't nice. I think a lot of us were suggesting strategies to challenge the party and the archer in particular. The various options for lowering the threat from a ranged weapon covered above, for example. Also, Olaf - is the archer getting any sort of a reputation for...

    Help Me Challenge One Of My Players

    Or any wall (wall of smoke, wall of darkness, wall of thorns, etc.) or concealment, for that matter, aye. A sorceror or druid could really mess the archer up and make him, and the party, change tactics. A swarm of something, blindness, glitterdust, some sort of hallucinating or itching...

    Help Me Challenge One Of My Players

    K.i.s.s. *shakes head* You guys are overthinking, imho, though putting him up against someone with deflect arrows isn't bad. Try this: Bad Guy 1: Oh no! That archer is cutting us up! Bad Warlock: I'll shatter his bow! Bad Guy Who Throws Sharp Things: I'll attack his bowstring! Bad...

    Invisible Blade Question

    (I sincerely hope this is the right forum for this.) I'm playing a CA ninja (Level 3 human, Weapon Finesse, Combat Expertise, and Improved Feint) and came upon a thread suggesting that the Invisible Blade PrC would dovetail nicely with the ninja. Then I read the requirements and said...
