[QUOTE="DM_Jeff, post: 3676690, member: 3687"] I got invited here when I moaned on the "what I regret letting in my game" thread elsewhere, thank you, this has been a very good read. Glad to see it's not just me. On the other hand I am more convinced that like many rules, these are much more dangerous in the hands of munchkins. I have seen a warblade in the hands of my intelligent friend, and the campaign was fine. I have made my own crusader for a mini campaign, and I certainly don't see any overpowering influences. On the other hand, I have seen a warblade in the hands of a player that may be interpreting some of the powers wrong, and he's also picked a bunch that are worded very, very poorly in the book leaving way too much room for interpretation. I have also seen someone who multiclassed the warblade to death to the point where the character, at 8th level, is routinely tackling and taking out CR 12 creatures by herself with narly a scratch. Took one of those WotC races, that is Medium, but "acts as" Large, then took a level is psycic warrior to gain the "enlarge" ability making her HUGE. She "seems" to have DR 250/- and routinely rolls between 8 and 15 d6 for damage when she attacks. I have to admit I should be policing these folks more carefully. I just have a regular policy of making sure players in my group don't play anything they don't fully understand, and I think the book leaves too much open to (mis)interpretation. A good friend and fellow DM remarked how he thinks if anyone took a Bo9S character, he'd forbid that class from multiclasssing. That would no doubt work, but just seems a shame to have to come to that. -DM Jeff [/QUOTE]
