[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3672626, member: 29014"] If you're playing White Raven / Diamond Mind, you shouldn't expect to outdamage the Barbarian. White Raven shines at helping the whole team out (one reason I like that school, though the broken manoeuvres in it are still problematic). Diamond Mind will allow you to outdamage everyone with some ridiculous damage numbers for their level at a few key levels if you focus on Concentration, but level 10 is not a good level for the Diamond Minder to deal damage. It's better at keeping you out of tight spots. As for DR/- vs DR/adamantine, I have found that for a player, there is very little difference. For an enemy, it is a huge difference. This is because few enemies bring to bear significant adamantine attacks unless the GM designs it that way to be mean. But it's true that the Stone Dragon techniques work a whole lot better for a Crusader than a Warblade. Don't forget that you lose the Stone Dragon when you aren't standing on the ground, also, another advantage for the Barbarian. Of course, the Barbarian needs the DR because she is likely to have a substantially lower AC than the Warblade. [/QUOTE]
