[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4397536, member: 35909"] Ok, I suppose that's correct. I was wondering if it'd make the Warlock cry (thought UMD abilities might still even the classes out), and at earliest levels it definitely is too good. Later levels, it seemed comparable to any basic Fighter/Mage build, the Duskblade class, etc... at least at first glance. I didn't really consider level 1 as much as I should have. The text does say "especially [spells] with a range of touch or personal," which I didn't bother with since it sounded more like a recommendation to the player than a rule and because a regular swordsage has plenty of blasting options. What if spells that weren't range: touch or range: personal counted as +1 spell level? So at first level...you can run around tumbling in melee with shocking grasp or whatever with your mighty d6 HD and no armor (and no stat to AC till level 2). Is that gimped enough to possibly be balanced? Cause I like the basic concept, it'd be nice to actually make it work. [/QUOTE]
