I think PCat has a good point here: Using Nine Swords Maneuvers as an example, it seems that what's likely to happen is: Swordsage/Warblade has his 3 or 4 maneuvers picked.Round 1: He opens with his Ancient/Elder/Regular Mountain Hammer.Round 2: Follows with his Adamantine/Mithral/Steel beatdown.Round 3: Next comes his throw/strike of choice.Round 4: Etc.Stance might change, but more often remains where it is. Next combat, he does it again, in that same order of power.On the other hand, you can't throw fireballs or meteor swarms all day long, because you run out after the first or second combat, if you're not careful. When you do run out, the next fight has to open with some other spells. And when you're last resource is a Knock and a phase door, you REALLY have got to come up with a crafty plan.</blockquote>
