Completely replacing Fighter, Paladin and Monk with Bo9S?

[Gold Roger]

So, I've been thinking about ways to introduce Maneuvers as integral part of my campaigns, without adding more classes (cause I hates class bloat).

Feats and PrC's don't exactly work out.

If I start adding alternate class features in a big enough amount to allow classes to become maneuver focused, I could just as well introduce the Bo9S classes.

Since the three classes I'd want to profit the most from the introduction of maneuvers each have a Bo)S equivalent, I decided to try a complete swap.

What problems could you see with those changes?

Check the Sublime Collection in my sig. There's a PrC for making a Cleric / Crusader into a Paladin, and a Marshal replacement PrC based on a Bard / Warblade.

Ranger and Monk replacement base classes are also in there.

Cheers, -- N

For consistency's sake you should have to thought up something for the ranger, and (a big) perhaps, the rogue. There are some variant rangers with homebrew archery techniques, if you simply don't want to dispense with it completely and have crusaders, warblades and swordsages as only weapon using-focused classes (which i think is a great idea).

The only other problem I can see is that you won't be able to dip into the fighter class for quicky feats to enter prestige classes. If that can be called a problem.
