Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

To be serious for a brief moment:

IMC, Ftrs get 1 bonus feat per level. Problem solved.

And you know what they say when you reify something: you use an if about you and me.

Wait a minute... you were saying that warblades are munchy compared to normal fighters... so you nerf them... but you don't actually use normal fighters in your game....

Hey hong: Yer past 12k! woot.

At times like this, I wish I had a picture of Luke Skywalker in the ventilation shaft near the end of TESB, you know, the "I am your father" scene, so I could macro "NOOOOO!!!!!" on to it.

I do both.

WB: gain d10 HD, lose weapon aptitude.

Ftr: gain 1 bonus feat/lvl, rather than 1/two lvls.

I'm currently play testing this (2 players of mine: one pays a Ftr, one plays a WB), after working up maximized characters of Ftr and WB at 3rd, 9th, 15th, and 20th. The comparison looks balanced.

Don't worry. I'm sure only a few people have seen the movie.

You say this like it's a negative thing.

For me it is. When even WotC thinks that the core melee classes are to weak then they should fix those classes and not create new ones to replace them inoffically.

I do not own Book of Nine Swords, but one of my players does want to play a Master of Nine PrC (whatever that is) after multiclassing:

Warblade 4/Fighter 2/Monk 2/Swordsage 2

However, two of the abilities (maneuvers, whatever they are called) that he wants to take are:

White Raven Tactics
Iron Heart Surge

I'm not even sure how these can be considered balanced unless they are once per day (based on my knowledge of them).

How often per combat can these be used?
