Got a new one, a master of unarmored swordsmanship, easy for a Swordsage to get in, open to any melee though. The only problem I can see with it is that I can't honestly imagine *not* taking this if I was playing an epic Swordsage.
Blade Mystic
An old warrior living out the remainder of his days in quiet solitude in a seashore-retreat; an ascetic fighter at one with his body and soul, training rigorously in a mountain monastery; a wandering champion whose blade strikes down the wicked, whose sword seems an extension of his iron gaze. The Blade Mystic is all of these and more, an enlightened swordsman who has made his very soul a part of the blade he wields. His art cannot be taught, it must be learned through a lifetime of self-annihilation, of recognizing the philosophical mysteries of swordsmanship and then transcending them. The aspiring Blade Mystic must become a master of the sword, and then forget all that he knows; only then can he come to comprehend the true nature of battle. And with the secrets he discovers, the Blade Mystic is able to deconstruct the essence of battle, to perform feats of prowess that should otherwise be impossible. By killing the doubt within him, the Blade Mystic becomes a warrior-ascendant.

Class equal to her class level. She loses this bonus whenever she wears any kind of armor.
Sublime Warrior (ex): A Blade Mystic adds all Blade Mystic levels to her Initiator Level.
Sword Spirit (ex): At 2nd level, the Blade Mystic becomes one with her blade. As a Standard Action, she may make a single melee attack against any target within 30 ft. +5 ft. per Blade Mystic level. This attack is resolved as a Touch Attack. If the Blade Mystic fights with two weapons, she gains an attack with each weapon in this manner.
Martial Study (ex): At levels 3, 6, and 9, the Blade Mystic gains a new martial maneuver as though she had gained the Martial Study feat.
Battle Reverie (ex): At 4th level, the Blade Mystic gains the ability to recall a single expended maneuver as a Swift Action by making an

Ki Flight (ex): At 7th level, the Blade Mystic becomes able to walk on air so long as she holds a blade in her hand. This ability functions as the Air Walk spell, except it is always active, cannot be dispelled, and functions even in an anti-magic field.
Echo Slash (ex): Those struck by an 8th level Blade Mystic’s Sword Spirit take additional damage in the following round as though they were automatically struck by her Sword Spirit again.
Spirit Step (ex): A 9th level Blade Mystic moves in a blur, seeming to instantaneously close the distance between her and her opponents. She may Move as a Swift Action and takes no Attack of Opportunity for moving through an opponent’s threatened square.
Sword Saint (ex): A 10th level Blade Mystic has achieved a state of martial nirvana. In battle, she is an indescribable artist with her blade. She threatens the area of her Sword Spirit ability and treats all Attacks of Opportunity as Sword Spirit attacks. As a Standard Action, she may make a Sword Spirit attack against every opponent within her enhanced reach.
