[QUOTE="Patlin, post: 3657835, member: 17264"] Last session the warblade finally got to use Iron Heart Surge, and removed two negative levels with it. Very good ability when it comes up! My shapeshifter dipped into Swordsage, and I very much enjoyed having a few strikes at my disposal to liven things up. Tossing things around with setting sun strikes is neat, even if it does very little damage... it's a nice tactical flexibility. I also enjoyed having more options that don't reduce resources. On that same topic, I picked up the summon elemental reserve feat, though I haven't figured out the best use for the thing yet. I definitely missed out in not getting 5th level spells though. In fact, it pretty much got me killed. Strahd critted me with a scorching ray for over 60 damage, and I perished. The "heart of X" spells have been something of a specialty of mine, so if I had had 5th level spells, I would probably have had all four of them up. The 5th level one, Heart of Fire, provides Fire Resistance 20 and all four together provide immunity to critical hits. The 66 damage from the two rays might very well have been 0 damage! No use crying over spilled milk, though... and on the plus side, I got reincarnated as a bugbear off of a random roll. 8 points of physical stats was a nice unexpected bonus! [/QUOTE]
