Tome of Battle (Bo9S) Initiator Level

Warblades never run out of maneuvers?

They don't? Even Crusaders can run out of maneuvers temporarily.

Yeah, this is critical. You cannot get high level maneuvers with a one level dip, because you simply cannot qualify for the high level maneuvers. They almost all require that you have one or more prior maneuvers to get the higher level ones.

I'm statting up a 36th level Kratos-esque character for a one-shot, and one of the most fun things is taking a single level of swordsage to get Tornado Throw.

Of course, he's actually got 20 levels of warblade too, so he has 8th or 9th level maneuvers in 6 different disciplines.
