Complete Warrior, anybody got it? What's in it?

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

And how is that bad? They essentially lose their spellcasting capabilities but (from what I can tell) are given the ability to do 'x' or 'y' which is the equivalent of a spell, 1/2/3 a day. You're getting too hung up on the notion that the ability is explained away in the form of a spell. Work with it.

Isn't that like the WarCraft II "Scout" class? They almost had it, but then they decided that spending all my ranks in Survival just wasn't good enough.

Now I just point and say "quarry's that way - get 'em!" Sheesh! Even Aragorn didn't manage to track down everything he went after (Smeagol escaped from him).

I'll feel real happy about it when I get hit with a dispel magic too

Seems no one else finds issue with the new Bladesinger and Celerity being only once a day... ugh

No, I think it's crap, but I don't have the book yet to see the entire class and make a final judgement.

Amazon insists that CW's release date is still Dec 1st.

Does Complete Warrior have the Blade Dancer (from Oriental Adventures in 3e, and basically a wuxia swordsman) or the Bladesinger (in 3e, from Tome & Blood [misprinted], Tome & Blood web enhancement [officially correct], and a FR supplement; basically, an elven fighter/magic-user)?

None. It doesn't get extra damage. It is like a rogue with figher BAB and no sneak attack or trap disabling. It picks up abilities relating to dodge and movement.

Yes it does. The swashbuckler gets his Int bonus to damage on any finesse-able weapon against anything that isn't immune to criticals.

Complete Warrior has the Bladesinger. There is the Dervish, while I don't remember the OA Blade Dancer, is a PrC with a theme of dancing, and moving.

Overall this seems like an okay book, but I wasn't that impressed with it. I think the feats are the best section of the book. But really I'm just happy the Halfling outrider has a BAB

I checked there's no Bladedancer, though it didn't really need that much of an update in my opinion. The Dervish has nothing to do with the Bladedancer, since after all the Bladedancer is based on a Chinese swordsman, while the Dervish is based on an Arabic swordsman.

I meant Bladesinger... my apologies. Editing my query.

No, I find no issue with it. Remember that the new Bladesinger gets to cast any spells he wants, not just the 4 or 5 per level that were on his list before. Being able to quicken any spell you want as many times per day as you want without increasing the spell level would be horribly broken, and I can't imagine how you could think otherwise. It was only *barely* balanced in the old version because the Bladesinger's spell list didn't have anything too powerful on it.
