Have you found Bo9S characters to outshine other classes?

[Mort]

To be more specific:

In actual play, have you found Bo9S classes to overshadow other classes (lets specifically exclude core fighters, because almost by definition they should be more powerfull than a core fighter). I'm eplicitly not doing a poll in the hopes that people offer good specifics.

Is this the same thread as two days ago, or something different?

Fine.

In actual play, with house rules to nerf the Warblade (and strengthen Ftrs, FWIW), I have not found the Martial Adepts to overshadow other classes.


Yet.

Completely different question.

I'm not asking about things to watch out for or problems with the book.

I'm asking IN ACTUAL PLAY, have these classes overshadowed the other classes?
there were a few threads on this in the past, but I don't think they were quite so specific.

interesting. So far I've found the warblade to be the weakest of the three classes even though they do appear strong on paper - hence my "in actual play" qualification.

Not to quibble too much, but it's the "problems with the book" that would cause "overshadowing of other classes in ACTUAL PLAY." So these questions are rather similar.

As has been discussed, the WB weakness comes from the limited # of manuevers. (There are no other real weaknesses that we've come across.) That said, our party's Warblade has compensated.
