Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasin" data-source="post: 3435544" data-attributes="member: 7531">FWIW, the first time I read this, I read it as "a (single, standard action) melee attack".As for warblades vs. crusaders vs. swordsages, I've played all three, albeit very shortly. My limited experience was that they were all more or less fine, but my pick as the strongest of the three would be crusader. My first 3E game had a paladin with Con 8, and ever since my experience has been that the character percieved as most powerful in actual play isn't the one who can dish out the most damage, or the one who would win in a PC-vs-PC duels, but the one who never seems to get killed (while still being reasonably useful, just cowering in safety doesn't count). And for that, my money's on the crusader. Delayed damage + temp hp + self-healing while attacking + Cha to Will FTW!As a semi-related note, I would also say the crusader is the most difficult to play, while the swordsage is the most difficult to design well, while the warblade is the easiest for both.</blockquote>
