Tibbit Swordsage?
Checking the Tibbit entry at Dragon Compendium, page 21, says that its Feline Transformation works like polymorph, with a few diferences.
Now, I checked polymorph and it says none about losing class features, extraordinary and supernatural abilities (by the Alter Self entry mentioned there). So, here's the question, if, say, a swordsage tibbit would be pleased to fight while in cat form, would its maneuvers work? If not, why?Check out which is the Playground's favorite Dragon!

Re: Tibbit Swordsage?
This. They work. In fact, Swordsage was a component of one of the Tibbit builds discussed in this thread.
As an aside, if the idea of a melee character with a huge Str penalty while in kitty form still chafes, remember that a two-level dip of CE Soulborn gives you total immunity to Str penalties, including the one imposed by kitty form.My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.
Blue text means sarcasm. Purple text means evil. White text is invisible.
My signature got too big for its britches. So now it's over here!

Re: Tibbit Swordsage?
Some maneuvers won't work as well for a tiny creature, or for one without a manufactured weapon, but that discrepancy is a lot less significant for ToB classes than it is for most melee. I think there might be a couple of maneuvers that only work if you're wielding a weapon, but if so, just don't take those ones. There are plenty of others to choose from.

Re: Tibbit Swordsage?
Also, wilding clasps would let you keep some of your equipment while in cat form, which would make this more viable at higher levels.

Re: Tibbit Swordsage?
I love the idea of Tibbit with Iron Heart, Diamond Mind, Stone Dragon, or Divine Spirit for the +damage strikes. So you pad up to the villain, bat at his head, and send it flying across the room.
I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: Tibbit Swordsage?
Actually, in the Tibbit entry it specifically states that they only lose any weapons, shields, armor, or robes they wear or carry, but everything else they keep as it shifts to fit the new form. The only thing you are really worried about losing is the armor so check with your DM to see if the aforementioned wilding clasps work with your shapechange ability.
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
Mine started in a Dwarven church of Pelor, now with a moon!
Also, note to self, sacrificing KFC in a small apartment is not a good idea.
