Message: <blockquote data-quote="BASHMAN" data-source="post: 3179202" data-attributes="member: 8277">That is a good idea with the unarmed strike.However, a WB or SS or Crusader have to be VERY CAREFUL about their choice of weapons.  It is a very delacate game, because you can only use certain manuvers with certain weapons.  There is very little overlap between schools and weapons allowed.  There are 2 schools that allow bastard sword, and 2 schools that allow Great-Sword and 2 schools that allow Great-Axe.  Unarmed strike is the weapon allowed by the most schools-- 3. For this reason, your character will need to carry around at least 2 weapons or take Improved Unarmed Strike as a feat unless you plan on restricting yourself to ONLY 2 fighting schools that have a common weapon. Currently, I am working on a Warblade who is going to emulate Mad Mardigan from the Willow movie.  He will use Bastard Sword so he can use Diamond Mind and Iron Heart manuvers, and Improved Unarmed Strike (and a mace) so he can use Stone Dragon (taken mainly in order to gain the Stone Power feat [which is VERY useful for Crusaders, btw, but I digress].  In essence, though the reason that the ability to change your weapon feats is important is if you start focusing on using a different school, that requires a different weapon, you want your feats to jive with that weapon.  If you want to change your focus from Diamond Mind to Tiger Claw, for instance, you might want to change your weapon feats from Bastard Sword to Kukri.</blockquote>
