[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 4939172, member: 14506"] Eldritch_Lord: I don't dislike the rules written for the Bo9S, I just don't like the out of whack power level that simply makes all other previous martial classes look quaint and insignificant. Like I said I have played them a lot; in three different campaigns and several Con games. So I think I know what I am talking about when I say that everyone at the table feels like I am cheating and begins checking my numbers when I one-shot dragons. I really don't like that, it was a fling I repent. When I sit down with a group I know that they are power gamers I grab for some Bo9S love. When I sit down with a group who want some honest adventuring I grab my PHB. Basically everyone has to be on the same page. If you are not stay far away from that book. Warblade 1/wizard 5/Jade phoenix mage X Warblade 1/Swordsage 4/Master thrower 5/Bloodstorm blade 10 Those are a couple of characters but even a Warblade/Swordsage can be absolutely broken when built for damage and has all of the little defense quirks that you think the PHB warrior types should have. I am sure you can build a balanced character but you would have to try. If your DM allows this book have fun one-shotting monsters. But this is a highly derailed topic. I would rather talk about the full-casters and their hyperbolic power curve and ways of getting their power curve to straighten out a bit. [/QUOTE]
