This is Sparta! [3.5 base class] PEACH

[Empedocles]

The new recovery mechanism is horrible. Like, painfully so. I'd change it to whenever he drops an enemy with a challenge rating of at least one-half his class levels, or the usual rest. To compensate, and I know I'm saying this a lot, take out the AC bonus. He really doesn't need it. And as for the DR, I'd say maybe leave it, and maybe cut it down to 2/3 class levels.

I intended for it to be pretty harsh. You really think it's too much...?

I'd hate to drop the DR...

i think it could reasonably be lowered to 3/4s Hitdice without being totally OP.

I really do. All other classes, even the Swordsage, recover all their readied maneuvers after combat is over. Here, he has to wait 8 hours? I know, I know, dropping a foe, but when you're talking equal or greater CR... it's entirely possible for entire adventures to go by without fighting more than one or two such enemies-- and even when such foes come up, there's a more-than-even chance that you won't be the one to strike the killing blow.

You don't have to drop the DR, as it's never too bad. (Although, again, I urge you to remove the AC bonus).

As an alternate recovery mechanism, harsher than the warblade's but not too bad... how about letting him recover X levels worth of maneuvers whenever he takes some certain amount of damage?

Could? Yes. Should? Heck no. It's a front-line, brute-force, all-on-the-line warrior.

I'll make it less harsh so he can recover his maneuvers after a normal combat (say, 10 minutes?).

AC bonus has been removed.
