Advice on starting a new 3rd edition campaign.

If you want to give Fighters(the class) something extra, let them count their full class level to Initiator level, instead of only half, or even exempt them from the cap of three Martial Study feats per character.

Yeah, I've done that (and more) for Fighters in my games, which allow ToB.

Personally, I have a bit of a strange house rule. I let people take feats and PRCs from Tome of Battle, (including Martial Study and Martial Stance), but not use the base classes from that book. (I don't like them and prefer to nerf full casters, but that's neither here nor there) That allows fighter-types to have some Martial tricks up their sleeves without getting too complicated or making the Sublime Way indispensabe.

This sounds great...maybe I should finally pick up ToB...?
