[QUOTE="Gloombunny, post: 3761850, member: 54916"] You could get it anyway with a Martial Study feat or a one-level dip in Warblade, but since it specifies that you have to be holding a melee weapon it wouldn't help anyway. The unarmed swordsage variant is the way to go, I think. Or if the GM doesn't allow it, then a regular swordsage with Superior Unarmed Strike, and at least you can wear light armor that way. For defense, there's a Shadow Hand stance that gives you concealment as long as you move 10+ feet every round. A 20% miss chance would go a long way to making up for low AC. Setting Sun has counters that help evade attacks, and Stone Dragon strikes give you temporary DR. Also, unarmed strike is a preferred weapon for Shadow Hand, which means you can use the Shadow Blade feat to add Dexterity to damage. If you take that and Weapon Finesse, you can neglect Strength in favor of a very high Dex for more AC. [/QUOTE]
