Before this Warblade, I had never read a D&D book in my life. And so I come to you, EN World, for advice on building him.Here's my stats: 6th Level Dwarf, Chaotic/Good, 4'6, 265lbs.20 STR (+2 from gauntlets)12 DEX 16 CON 14 INT 11 WIS 11 CHA50 max HP+6/+2 base attack bonusMaul: +14/+9 1d10 X3crit Glaive: +14/+9 1d8 X3crit Speed: 20ftInitiative +5Fortitude: 7Reflex: 3Will: 2AC: 21 (full plate)Touch AC: 19Flat-Footed AC: N/AFeats and abilities: Martial StudyAdaptive StyleCritical ConfirmationDodgeUncanny DodgeImproved Uncanny DodgeImproved InitiativeClarion Commander (DM's Discretion, my character has been nothing but a natural leader in the campaign so he granted this to me without prerequisites.)Skills:Bluff +4Concentration +8Diplomacy +4Intimidate +8Jump +8Knowledge (local) +4Knowledge (Martial) +4Maneuvers:Action Before ThoughtEmerald RazorDisrupting BlowDisarming StrikeExorcism of SteelClaw At The MoonStances:Stonefoot StanceBolstering VoiceStuff: +2 Full PlateSatchel: 5 Throwing AxesSignal WhistleWaterskin1657g 31s 71c (We were divided up into three groups of two and given 10 platinum pieces per group. Most of mine went to a companion, a 5th level human paladin, for his equipment, that's what's left over.)Alright. Now for the questions. I kinda messed up on the maneuvers, I think I shouldn't have taken so many Diamond Mind maneuvers and taken something else like Death From Above, but I think I know what I want for my 7th level maneuver: Iron Heart's Lightning Throw, because throwing a maul would be beastly. The only problem is Lightning Throw is an 8th level maneuver. Any suggestions on an equally beastly move? Would I be able to just put off getting another maneuver until level 8?It's not like this character is nerfed because of the lack of many damage based maneuvers, he took out a Hill Giant 95% on his own in 5 turns thanks to a +4 AC racial, Action Before Thought, Claw At The Moon, and a little planning from a throwing axe and chain. (Ever seen Star Wars episode 5?) But would a maneuver change be legal? If so, at what level? How would I ask the DM to let me do that if it's not legal? The intent is for him to shoot for Master of the Nine. Is he a good character so far? Do I have to take maneuvers from every school to reach Master of the Nine? I only have 13 maneuvers to throw around, so what's the best school to delve deep into?</blockquote>
