Multiclassing as martial adept

[moody]

Hello!

I'm currently trying to create a new level 10 Human character using Swordsage/Warblade/crusader class to a D&d session, so that he could enter Master of Nine at 10th level.Though,I have a few questions regarding multiclassing through the various martial adepts classes:


1st - Do I have to track seperately all the maneuvers attained by each class?

2nd - Let's say, I get a maneuver known from a level in master of Nine that both Crusader and Warblade can have,but I choose to add it to the Crusader progression.Can I use the Warblade recovery method ,or only the recovery method of the class I added the maneuver to?

3rd - Supposing the answer to the 1st question turns out as a 'yes', do I have to,each time ready the maneuvers for each of the 3 classes?Since I've heard you can't learn the same maneuver twice as well as readying it,do I have to take that into account when learning and readying the maneuvers?
What if, I take the Crusader levels last before entering to Mo9 and I can't choose more maneuvers because they were already in the warblade progression?

Thanks in advance for the reply!

Just FYI, I beleive you can meet the prerequisites for Master of the Nine with just a two of the martial adept classes.

You're right!Even with just Swordsage I could get to Master of Nine,I believe...Still,I wanted to benefit from the strengths of all the classes,that's why I decided to give a try to all 3

Multiclassing is good. Excessive multiclassing is bad. I'd advise against dipping in all three classes, personally. Have one main class and a splash in something else.

I'll think about it...Maybe in the end it would be best...nevertheless,the multiclassing past related to the maneuvers is giving me a bit of a headache!

You do have to track them separately for purposes of initiator level and such when learning them, though you can for instance use a warblade maneuver to fulfill the prerequisite for a swordsage maneuver.

2nd - Let's say, I get a maneuver known from a level in master of Nine that both Crusader and Warblade can have,but I choose to add it to the Crusader progression.Can I use the Warblade recovery method ,or only the recovery method of the class I added the maneuver to?

Only the recovery method of that class; all maneuvers are refreshed separately if you use one class's method, though Adaptive Style should let you refresh all classes' maneuvers.

3rd - Supposing the answer to the 1st question turns out as a 'yes', do I have to,each time ready the maneuvers for each of the 3 classes?Since I've heard you can't learn the same maneuver twice as well as readying it,do I have to take that into account when learning and readying the maneuvers?

You do.

What if, I take the Crusader levels last before entering to Mo9 and I can't choose more maneuvers because they were already in the warblade progression?

You're never going to run out of maneuvers to take, though you might not have any more you want to take. In that case, simply pick some useful-looking maneuvers and never ready them.
