[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3688498, member: 29014"] Sure it would. First, the Warblade has to delay all the way through the round, through all allies and enemies, until she gets to the top of the round and jumps out of the initiative order. Now she grabs the nova-caster and plops her up at the beginning. But now what? She can never actually give the nova-caster another boost for the whole fight. Why not? Well she could waste another whole round to delay arbitrarily higher, but that won't help, since the nova-caster already goes really early, so it makes no practical difference. The abusive WRT is to use it on somebody who just acted so they essentially go twice in the same round. That can work at most once (if your nova-caster or other WRT target is last in the init order. If she is already first, it will work 0 times) with my edit. After that, you can never use it again unless the nova-caster delays to go last in the round, in which point she just lost her opportunity to act first anyway, so it isn't really a gain at all.
