[QUOTE="useridunavailable, post: 3962003, member: 53676"] What really stands out to me as being out of place on a Warblade is Sudden Recovery. Page 22 of the BoNS states (under a Warblade's readied maneuvers) that "you can recover all expended maneuvers with a single swift action, which must be immediately followed in the same round with a melee attack or using a standard action to do nothing else in the round..." If you choose the melee attack option, it doesn't say that you can't follow up the first attack here with more attacks, so swift action>full attack is possible, as long as you execute no maneuvers. Given that you can recover [i]all[/i] of your maneuvers as a swift action whenever you want (only Warblades are afforded this luxury), why would you want to spend a feat to be able to recovere [i]one[/i] maneuver as a swift action [i]once a day[/i]? One of my favorite recommendations for a Warblade is that he or she pick up Martial Study: Burning Blade ASAP. This maneuver is useful as long as you take levels in Warblade, as the more attacks you get and the higher your initiator level gets, the more bonus damage you get. We're not talking about a sliding scale, here, either--each level you gain is an extra point of damage for [i]each of your attacks[/i]. Anyway, whatever you decide to do, I would strongly advise against Sudden Recovery for a Warblade for the reasons listed above. [/QUOTE]
