ToB:Bo9S - Can prestige classes switch out maneuvers?

[Particle_Man]

I know that the Crusader can switch out maneuvers for other ones every even level, starting at 4th level.

What if a 10th level Crusader takes the prestige class Eternal Blade at 11th to 20th levels? Will this character get to switch out old maneuvers as before, or are they now "fixed" unless he gains more levels in Crusader?

Come to think of it, how does this work when a Sorceror gains levels in a prestige class that allows full spellcasting progression?

There was a CustServ/Ask wizards type answer to this question: PrCs can't switch out maneuvers.

Since PrCs have their own progression (i.e. none of them say "+1 level previous martial adept progression"), it would make sense that they don't grant swapping unless they explicitly say that they do.

C, -- N

Of which, after a quick perusal, none of them say as much. Also, the Swordsage, for example, says that on every even level of Swordsage, they can switch out spells, so that would give credence to the idea that PrCs don't, unless I read it incorrectly.

Thank you all for your quick responses!

Hmmm...now I gots to sits and thinks. Do I stay with Crusader all the way, or go for Eternal Blade...I think I will do the latter anyhow. I can always punt the low level stuff into the "never readied" pile. It doesn't render the character less powerful, just a little less versatile as I don't have as much of a "plan B" maneuver list to pull out of the air, should I need to and should I get 5 minutes "alone" time.

Advice I heard somewhere: keep low-level Counters and Boosts, but make sure your Strikes are always higher level.

However, now that I look at what the Crusader has available, there are no low-level Counters or Boosts for you to take. Oh well. No wonder I don't get particularly excited about Crusaders... you know, you could get into Eternal Blade with a Warblade instead!

I think B9S is sufficent definition, why have an 8 characters when you can have 3?

Yeah, but I wanna try out the "You don't die" stance (which oddly, a straight up Crusader can only get by means of a feat, due to unfortunate timing with when they gain stances).
