[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5667598, member: 6674868"] Thicket of Blades reads, "...any opponent you threaten that takes any sort of movement..." So 5' step, moving into range, moving out or range when starting round within range, anything short of standing still within the range of your weapon triggers your ability to use this stance. If you take your second Crusader level at character level 8, you'll be able to pickup Thicket of Blades as your Crusader level 2 second stance without burning any feats. You might want to take up @[U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=85158"]Dandu[/URL][/U] 's suggestion about the Burning Brand Maneuver if you do have the feat available to spend. this will add a 6th Maneuver to your selection as a 2nd level Crusader, and so with a limited Maneuver selection, you're likely to cycle through quickly. As a Crusader level 2, a few possible maneuvers that may compliment your build might be Level 2 Devoted Spirit's Foehammer and Level 2 Stone Dragon's Mountain Hammer to overcome DR with your attacks and add 2d6, Level 1 Stone Dragon's Minotaur Charge and Level 2 White Raven's Battle Leader's Charge to allow you to charge through a battlefield without provoking A.o.O. yourself. You'll want to take Crusader at level 5 to automatically qualify for level 2 Maneuvers. So, your build may be looking like: 1-Samurai 2-Samurai 3-Samurai 4-Samurai 5-Crusader 6-Samurai 7-Iaijitsu Master 8-Crusader 9-Iaijitsu Master ...and so on. [/QUOTE]
