I almost always have it running, since my other stance gives +2 to Will Saves and +4 versus fear to my allies (we're running in an almost all undead game, so fear has been pretty common, and I expect vampiric charm to be coming soon).So the GM hasn't been making me tell him which maneuvers I have ready, so he doesn't always know what I can do at any given time. Once I use the Shield Block, he knows he can have a round or two to hit at my allies afterwards, but in one case I reset all of my abilities immediately after I used it, and drew it randomly again.As a result, I've gotten a fair bit of milage out of the combination, and have been keeping our Greenbond and Rogue out of trouble. Heck, I draw attacks away from the Paladin, who really makes the most out of them.I am only playing at modest levels, and I know that the White Raven manuevers will get better over time (maybe too good), but I have to say that the Crusader has been very useful so far, but not overpowering. All of my strikes are based on a normal attack roll, and low level characters miss a lot. Add to that the fact that I use Stone Power a lot, and managed to pick up a negative level fighting a wight, and there you go. Still, I'm having a blast with the character.--Steve</blockquote>
