[QUOTE="Kmart Kommando, post: 3061900, member: 39915"] My swordsage is mopping the floor with many NPCs, but really has a bit of a glass jaw. The sorceror in the party, however, can't take nearly the abuse, but hands out up to twice the damage I do, round after round, and is able to single target blast just like me, or spread it around. Seems pretty balanced to me. The polymorph specialist wizard in our party has been the frontline fighter for a long time, and my old psychic warrior could never compete with his damage output in melee, though I did have more hit points (mostly thanks to vigor, which I blew most of my PP on just to be a meat shield). My swordsaage outdamages him by a fair bit now, but the wizard's AC while morphing is through the roof, so there is balace there as well. I think we both have similar hit points now too. He also just gained Power Attack, and has Wraithstrike, so the numbers may well swing back in his favor. I took the maneuver that lets me do a standard action attack as a touch attack, so I can do the Full Power Attack smack and tumble away, once, then I have to switch it up to something else until I run low and Adaptive Style my stuff back. Which I've done 2 times in the 3 sessions of playing him, with about 4 fights per session average. Although, I did recently gain Robilard's Gambit, so that my tilt the balance a bit as well. [/QUOTE]
