[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4124303, member: 35909"] Just felt the need to comment on this. Stormguard Warrior, if you have no Warblade levels, is extremely costly in feats to obtain (heck, even as a warblade it's still not exactly free). Adaptive Style [B]should not[/B] be under "contemplating," it's almost as critical to SS as Natural Spell is to Druid, IME. Unless combats in your group never exceed 3 rounds, and you're confident you'll never need to switch to a maneuver you neglected to ready, etc... Gloom Razor is kinda nice, the major downside is with medium BAB, you're basically blowing a level 9+ feat on it, and at that point, there may well be many things you want. If you're open to other small races, I also vote Whisper Gnome. I personally had good success with Desert Wind Dodge + Titan Fighting. Basically, for the price of 2 feats, gain +1 dodge AC or +4 if foe is medium or larger, as long as you move 10 or more feet in the round. Drink a reduce person potion, and it gives +4 AC vs. small foes, too! Expeditious Dodge (move 40+ feet and get +2 dodge AC) is nice to tack on later if you can get your speed up with boots or class feature and have a high enough tumble mod to easily make DC 25 (no reduced movement).
