What do we know about the Complete Warrior??

[Ashrem Bayle]

Besides the little blurb that comes up when you click on it on the main news page, what has been leaked about this book?

Is it hardback?
Page count?

EDIT - Removed the CoC tag.

 

[Pants]

36 new and revised PrC's (!!)
Some new Core Classes (can't remember them offhand...)
Mostly focused on combat.

Some of the revised PrC's are:
Hunter of the Dead
Bladesinger

There's more, but that's all I remember...
Oh and it will be a hardcover book

Forge your name in battle!

The Complete Warrior provides you with an in-depth look at combat and provides detailed information on how to prepare a character for confrontation.

This title was not only compiled from various D&D sources, but contains new things as well, including new battle-oriented character classes, prestige classes, combat maneuvers, feats, spells, magic items, and equipment. The prestige classes included have been revised and updated based on player feedback, and there are rules for unusual combat situations. The Complete Warrior will assist all class types, including those classes not typically associated with melee combat. There are also tips on running a martially focused campaign and advice on how to make your own prestige classes and feats.

To use this accessory, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. A player needs only the Player's Handbook.

Hex Blade?

Some sort of Spellcasting Warrior concept?

dont_ask_me. I have no clue. But from the name I'd say it will be a prestige class like the sword dancer in OA.
I believe that it will be about the sword/weapon that gains magical benefits much like the arcane archer...not actual spellcasting imho.

Another revised feat that got mentioned: Flick of the Wrist!

Sadly the Samurai didnt get revised (one without the dependence on ijatsu focus) and I hope they dont mess up the master samurai. I mean the PrC is a joke. Too high cost and the benefits are no way worth it. Supreme Cleave is cool but it isnt THAT cool (and no way worth 6 feats(+) that you more or less *lose*)
