Mithral Tornado is just like Whirlwind Attack, but as a standard action and at +2 to your attack roll. Stormguard Warrior's Combat Rhythm option is great if followed up with Ruby Nightmare Blade or Emerald Razor (against heavily armored foes).Insightful Strike is nice if you're caught with your pants down -- i.e. if you don't have a real weapon handy. It's the maneuver which allows you to say: "Yes, as a matter of fact, I will kill you with this little tea cup."Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
