There are some things that a Fighter can do which a Warblade cannot do, particularly when it comes to pursuing feat tracks.The classic "competitive" Fighter build is the spiked-chain trip machine. It requires thee feats:- Exotic Proficiency (spiked chain)- Combat Expertise- Improved Trip... but it benefits from (and becomes effective) with more:- Combat Reflexes- Power Attack- Weapon Focus (spiked chain)- Weapon Specialization (spiked chain)... and if you allow PHB-II and other outside sources, it can be made significantly stronger (with the addition of yet more feats). Er, could you tie this a bit closer to the Martial Adepts? None of them have anything like the Fighter's bonus feats.Sorry, perhaps I'm being too dense and literal. Wow, cool! I want to be that guy! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> "You go on ahead, I'll take care of these guards." You'd win that bet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I've certainly designed Martial Adepts focused around one school (mostly for flavor), but I usually end up running out of stuff to pick and delving into at least one other school, too.I'm sure you can build viable single-school Warblades... just like I'm sure you can build a viable single-school Sorcerer! But IMHO it's an interesting choice, rather than a necessary constraint.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
