[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 3692611, member: 1266"] OK, I am the first player in our campaign to try the Bo9S options. I am playing a Warblade/fighter/Master of Nine. I've been taking feats as needed to get into the MoN prestige class and maneuvers as dictated by the campaign, so I have sort of a hodge podge of maneuvers. As this campaign is progressing it appears that dragons (spawn of tiamat) and demons/devils will figure heavily into the story line. What I am looking for is suggestions on what I should focus on for the maneuvers/stances the character will get with the MoN prestige class (although it may be too late already and the character may be too spread out).
