Now I'm working on a making a Warforged Warblade (from ToB: 9 swords). At 18th level, I'm planning on taking a level of Sword Sage.Now as far as I can tell, my Warblade and Sword Sage levels stack for purposes of determining what level maneuvers and stances I can take. So if I am a 17th level Warblade and take my 18th level as a Sword Sage, that makes my initiator level 18. Which means that I can take up to 9th level maneuvers. So I should be able to take at least 4 Desert Wind maneuvers and then take the Rising Pheonix stance as my known stance.For those who might say I cannot take the Rising Pheonix stance because I must already have had those maneuvers from the previous level, I disagree. ToB doesn't specify but there is already a precedent set with feats. If I take a feat, it immediately qualifies me for any other feat that has the prior one as a prereq. For example, a 6th level fighter could take both Dodge and Mobility at the same time.Does anyone think my Warblade 17/Sword Sage 1 could not take Rising Pheonix as a stance assuming I meet the prereqs by taking enough Desert Wind maneuvers? If you disagree please cite specific rules and page references as to why it would not be allowed.</blockquote>
