Next you are not likely to have a huge AC - as a matter of fact a good number of stances and manuevers actually decrease your AC, so you're going to get pounded while in melee (unlike a fighter where you can choose defense over offense, the warblade is almost pure offense, yes there are some defensive manuevers but they are not that prevalent). I've just noticed that the warblade will get pounded, and unlike the crusader can't do much about it.Again true but:1) Depending on build, full plate (or any med-heavy armor), even mithral will not be practical - Anything having to do with tiger claw or the more move oriented Diamond Mind builds will not sync well with any confining armor - even mithral.2) I get tired of all mithral, all the time as I'm sure many DM's do- sometimes it's just not going to be available to the players (even high level ones) easily.Point is the d12 seems to balance out in play with how much damage the warblade takes while doing his schtick.</blockquote>
