[QUOTE="Terraism, post: 3672042, member: 278"] Well, yeah. That's what I said at the [i]bottom[/i] of my post. :p Still, that is I think part of the issue that springs up. In my current game, I've got one guy who really wants a swordsage, but because I don't have the time to devote to both prep and changing the style a bit, I put my foot down and said no. I'd love to go for it, but I've unilaterally limited things based on their feel, and I don't have time to integrate a new source with the tone of the campaign. I'd love to see a short article or two on the Wizard's website covering it - while I can do it myself, I bet a lot of people would be more likely to consider it for their games if some basic "feel conversion" stuff was out there. In my case, when I do get around to it, I'll just be replacing the fighter with a slightly-tweaked warblade, and making similar exchanges for the other two... and I'll be gutting them of most of the supernatural maneuvers. Part of what makes that time consuming is that then I think I'll probably need to make sure that, by ripping out the more mystical ones, I haven't completely killed the balance, and if I have, putting in less overtly-magical alternatives to fill the mechanical niche.
