I'm looking at making an NPC that will join our party for an adventure but will become a villian in her own right, going for a 3rd level Sorc build to match the party level and am looking for a template with a good Cha boost. I know I want the dragon heritage feat (gold), and the regional feat...

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Probably a fairly easy answer to this, I'm just unsure myself how it should work. I'm making a Shield Dwarf and I'm adding the Shadow Creature template (Lords of Madness, p. 168) and have a question about how to apply the type/subtype. The template says the type/size is unchanged, but continues...

Gotcha

I see your point about the scaling issue - keeping MoPM available seems nice though. Re-reading through the Warblade entry I don't see anything that says you have to expend all your readied maneuvers before you can recover them. Unless it states it somewhere else I'm under the impression as a...

Not too much a fan of that either since it goes against how feats work or rather don't work if you lose the prereq feat, but I'll take it since WB is so maneuver deprived. That's good, will definitely help when planning out my progression. Thanks for both of those answers! LOL yep, feel...

See, I was so set on the Diamond Mind/Iron Heart disciplines I didn't read far enough into Tiger Claw. Dancing and Raging Mongoose are awesome, coupled with the recovery method of a Warblade makes these very strong maneuvers and eliminates the need of a Barbarian level dip. I also see Tiger...

That is a good point, I wasn't looking at it that way - I still feel like they're robbed by not gaining any new maneuvers or stances over 10 levels though. 2. I know the recovery methods played into this, or at least that is my guess. I know the Warblade recovers his maneuvers easily, it was...

BSB's focus on throwing things with a 10' range increment limits heavily though, to hit someone at 40' your looking at +6 on the to-hit roll, that's pretty self-balancing. Recovery mechanic between Swordsage and Warblade is significant, but the Crusader is on par with Warblade in that they...

You're right, I did overlook that. That is outright BS. Why do Crusaders and Swordsages get access to this feat but Warblades do not? Unless you're a Monk, I agree unarmed fighting is useless. My current Monk character though is destroying people while unarmed/unarmored (he does have the...

Except for that pesky being unconscious thing when in negative hitpoints... Other than that I like this idea, sometimes you have to circumvent the rules a little if it will make the game that much more fun or impart an important plot point. Talking is a free action so when my NPC's drop...

Going through the ToB a lot recently I'm finding a lot junk - the Warblade in particular seems to get the short end and I can't figure out why. So, here we go; 1) Why is the Bloodstorm Blade PrC, arguably a Warblade focused PrC with it's Iron Heart requirements, the only PrC in the book that...

The Moment of Perfect Mind seems rather good, and a 1st level maneuver for Warblade to boot. Thanks for bringing it to my attention because up to this point I was focusing on the Iron Heart, Stone Dragon and Tiger Claw disciplines. Man, only learning up to 4 stances is a bummer though...

Thanks for the replies, I was hoping WotC may have expanded on the ToB classes, but it seems like a lot of new ideas in 3.5 (skirmish being another one) got dropped in favor of 4e before they could introduce more material for it. The build idea that has taken shape again is being a shield dwarf...

So I'm looking at making a fighter build and while all the feats are nice, the maneuvers from ToB look fun to try out. While Warblade fits the build idea the best I think it has some rather useless features; weapon aptitude being one because how often do you really want to change the weapon your...

Invisible creature can interact with certain objects without breaking the invisibility, attacking however ends the effect so he would become visible after his first attack roll (unless using greater invisibility). From the SRD: Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell...

1. Has been answered, yes by RAW you have a BAB of 0. However, I do like the partial BAB progression formula, makes mixing classes with 3/4 progression (like a cleric/rouge) viable in combat still. I've always hated how if you mixed classes with 3/4 progression you'd only ever end up with a 14...

frankthedm may sound a bit paranoid, but he's right about your environment playing into peoples reactions. Right now we're playing a FR campaign in the Chondathan region and the fluff for that area says the populace is suspicious of spell casters and displays of magic... so they may become...

There is a gasmask like item in the Arms & Equipment Guide...

Another way would be the bracers from MIC (item set piece maybe?) that adds shocking damage to your melee strikes - should work with unarmed strikes as well.
