I like the sound of that. You only need a martial lore check if you can't read the alphabet that the script is written in. But being that we are in Sharn, he should be able to find some written in common.
And as I plan to spend the rest of Hightower's career gaining lvls in warblade, I was wondering if it was cool if he had an ancient scroll, written in his native tounge, that he has been studying for some time on the theories of the warblade. He wouldn't gain any powers from it, only the ability to become a warblade next lvl?
