If the core material has parts that are just weak, supplements that resemble those parts should not be forced to be that weak, as well. (Same goes for overpowered stuff in core).This puts the matter a bit too simply. There's more to it than this. You have to devote some of your blade magic resources to the Diamond Mind discipline, and for a warblade that often means taking it as one of his two disciplines. (Not too great a hindrance, I give you that)You also have to devote one of your manoeuvres to this. In order to be using the manoeuvre, you'll have to give up some other manoeuvre.Also, you can't just use it every two rounds. You have to use it (and maybe another, like a strike, in the same round), and not use any other manoeuvres in the following round (since you need to spend your swift action regaining your manoeuvres, and are then forced to do a normal, regular, vanilla attack or waste a standard action practically doing nothing). This means that from the 4+ manoeuvres you have prepared, you have to ignore at least half. It also means that you have to do without your manoeuvres half the time.I'd say there's quite a bit of difference between adhering to all these restrictions and just getting a feat that can be used every other round without any restrictions.</blockquote>
