[QUOTE="Thanatos, post: 3060170, member: 5261"] Some Customer Service Questions and Answers regarding the warblade: Q. Is it possible to ready multiple copies of the same maneuver, like you can with spells? If I am playing a 1st-level warblade, for instance, and I am allowed to ready 3 maneuvers, can I ready 3 copies of a single maneuver, or do I have to ready 3 separate maneuvers? A. No, you can only ready each individual maneuver once! Originally Posted by Iry Customer (Iry) 08/29/2006 12:02 AM My group has a great deal of confusion as to what is possible during the recovery action of the Warblade, a base class in the new Tome of Battle book recently released. Our current interpretation is as follows: The Warblade can recover maneuvers with two methods. A) He can use a swift action to begin recovery, then make a melee attack. Or, he can B) Use a swift action to begin recovery, then use a standard action to do nothing in a round. We assume that A allows us to use either a Standard Attack, a Full Attack, Fight Defensively, or a Charge Attack or otherwise allows us to make any of the basic attack actions that involve a 'melee attack' and do not include any kind of Maneuver or Stance. We also assume that so long as you make that melee attack, you can use a Move Action or a 5' step at any appropriate point during your turn depending on the type of action you took as normal. We assume that B allows us to use a Standard Action to 'Do Nothing' except some minor thematics. However, we believe we can still use our Move Action to move, use any skill or feat that takes a Move Action or opt to take a 5' step so long as none of the above involves a maneuver. Originally Posted by CustServ Response (Brandon) 08/29/2006 10:07 AM Hello Iry, You are correct in each of your assumptions save for the charging after the swift action for recovery.

But so long as the first thing you do after making the swift action is attacking, then you are fine! In short, you can move then follow with a swift action and finally an attack, or give up your move and turn that attack into a full attack, fight defensively, disarm, and most other attack moves.
