Message: <blockquote data-quote="comrade raoul" data-source="post: 3046786" data-attributes="member: 554">I totally agree. But do you think it goes far enough?Basically, the idea behind the "weapon master" stuff is to give the class a bit more flavor and direction. The idea behind the tactical points is to force the class into making more difficult tactical decisions and limit the applicability of the martial maneuvers, while still being generous enough with the points so that they figure into encounters fairly readily. I'm hoping to create an interesting (if, given IH, not especially original) twist on the encounter-based mechanics in ToB--the class's main resource refreshes every encounter, but, unlike any other class in the game, warblades/weapon masters have relatively limited control over that resource: they need to really be in the thick of things in order to get the resources to use their abilities liberally. (Note that this is actually very different from the psychic warrior, whose resources are drawn from a daily pool and whose power mostly comes from buffs--ideally applied at the beginning of a fight, or moments before it--enhanced by the occasional psychically-boosted attack or special maneuver.)(And more feedback would be super helpful. I'm actually suspecting that I still might be too generous.)</blockquote>
