Can an Artificer scribe martial scripts?

Is there a way for an artificer to use the scribe martial script feat in Tomb of Battle without taking all the required levels of a martial class?

The item creation section says you can make a UMD check to emulate nonspell requirements and it only excludes feats and skills. I believe the manoeuvres are considered extraordinary abilities but the location of the exact wording eludes me.

My guess is still no though, since that might be kinda broken.

I would go for a bunch of levels of Warblade though I really only want one or two specific special manoeuvres. Otherwise I'll use the feat that gives you a manoeuvre using 1/2 your character level though its useful only once per encounter.

In order to make a martial script, you need scribe martial script feat which requires 1 level in either crusader or swordsage, no warblade. You can't go around that

I would say you can bluff knowing the maneuver since maneuvers are class features, so just UMD 20 for class feature. Your initiator level for limitation on what manuevers you can scribe should be artificer levels +2 or initiator level, whichever is higher.

Finally, you still have to know of the maneuver to scribe it, I would say that that is a martial lore check to identify the maneuver you want to scribe.
