[QUOTE="hong, post: 3379932, member: 537"] Well, looks like the next session won't be until the 31st, so that's 3 sessions in 2 months... good thing I got the DM to approve diamond nightmare blade now. Stats follow. Yeah, I deviated from the pure swordsage path just to see what warblade could add. I've been very indecisive about this character so far, actually; at first I wasn't going to get diamond nightmare blade, then I thought of taking a scout level, then changed my mind.
