[QUOTE="Nail, post: 3681152, member: 224"] Heh, heh....no, the Mnk/Warblade (Videssian in this thread) knows what he's doing. Videssian knows how to give his DMs challenges -- I've seen him do it in other groups as well. And - for the record - challenging your DM in this way is a Good Thing[SIZE=1](tm)[/SIZE] in my book. Still, Warblades (and the other martial adept classes) gives the players lots of powerful tools to do so. IMC, the PCs are equipment poor, so going with Unarmed Strikes was a reasonable idea. Videssian's build has some flaws (poor Will Saves, pathetic AC), but his manuevers (Moment of Perfect Mind), hp (huge Con score, which doubles as a Str damage bonus and Will save), and luck have covered them. I've had to think carefully about how my campaign can present challenges to this PC; if I ran a "standard campaign" I might have had serious problems. For example, Will saves often come only one-at-a-time in published modules, and the Warblade can laugh these off. Another example: Power Attack is rarely used in published modules => but it's quite effective against this PC build. It's all good fun....but ToB:Bo9S should have a caution sticker on th' front. :lol: [/QUOTE]
