[QUOTE="Klaude dOrien, post: 3579845, member: 48503"] My DM has kindly allowed me to test a Swordsage in a new campaign starting at 2nd level This is our first Bo9S character and I don't want to get the book banned so I'm looking for a generalist with a range of options rather than a maxed out character. but any comments on critical mistakes or things I've overlooked welcome Str 16 Dex 16 Con 15 Int 11 Wis 13 Cha 8 Human Feats: Improved Initiative, Toughness (house ruled to be 2 +1/level hp) Skills Concentration 5 ranks Jump 5 ranks Listen 5 ranks Martial Lore 5 ranks Sense Motive 5 ranks Spot cc 2.5 ranks Tumble 5 ranks Speaks: Common Class abilities: Proficient in Light Armour, Simple Weapons and Martial melee weapons; Quick to Act (+1 Initiative); Discipline Focus (Weapon Focus in "Stone Dragon" weapons); Wis to AC (in light armour, no shield and unencumbered) Stances: Child of Shadow, Flame Blessing Maneuvers: Burning Blade, Moment of Perfect Mind, Mighty Throw, Shadow Blade Technique, Stone Bones, Sudden leap, Wolf Fang Strike Normally ready Burning Blade, Mighty Throw, Shadow Blade Technique, Sudden leap Progression 3rd level: feat: extra readied maneuver. maneuver: emerald razor 4th level: shadow jaunt and swap Wolf Fang Strike for fire riposte counter charge as a 1st level maneuver looks tactically interesting but how often is it likely to see use (bearing in mind you can't use it if you lose initiative and get charged)? wondering about stone vise (but will save DC ever be that great for a fort save) or rabid wolf strike instead of fire riposte.
