Elfin's Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook

[Timeless Error]

I still don't see why Synad is a good option for warblades; the extra swift actions is just 1/day and mental only, so you can't use it for boosts, counters, changing stance or recovering maneuvers...

Oh, right, mental only. Never mind.

[Hirax]

If you can't think of a good use of multiple swift actions in a round you aren't trying hard enough, I'll again point to being able to use a belt of battle and any swift action maneuver in the same round. If flaws are in play you can grab a second use of multitask via a racial feat, but even at 1/day multitask is good. Plus it has a favored class of any, +2 on will saves, is an aberration and not subject to things that affect humanoids, and a couple other nifty things. It's a better option than some of the other races listed.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Frankly no I am not trying; but even in that case I think it is a bit of a niche, not bad but not OMGWTFBBQ good, at least not in my opinion.

Right. I'm not saying it should be colored gold or cyan. I'm just saying, the only other way to get more swift actions is through house rules, or being a RKV. It's worth a mention. Not a billboard, just a mention. edit: skarns and hadozees being on the list as it is don't lend to any argument for strict standards for placing new things on the list.

In the end this depends on Harnel, as he is the one doing the transcribing.

[Essence_of_War]

Hmmm....Harnel are you still checking this thread? There's a bunch of stuff that really should get added. I'd be happy to write up some more notes on multiclassing as long as I know they'll get posted

Yeah, and did you get my PM? I can resend it if need be.

[Halae]

Sorry for not posting guys. It appears I forgot to subscribe to my own thread.

Anyways, I'll get to posting things on the front page. Thanks for your help and suggestions

And Essence_Of_War, if you could write up those multiclassing notes, I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT: added the Sword Rack and Essence_Of_War's additions to multiclassing so far. Good stuff, keep it coming

[Marthinwurer]

Using flaws, I can get lightning mace at level one. Are you sure that using weapon aptitude with lightning mace is legal? If so, then I can make a really awesome crit-fisher for the forum Pvp thread.

[Dusk Eclipse]

For the Lighting Mace Kukris trick you need the Aptitude weapon enhancement, not the class feature.

[Marthinwurer]

Ok, thanks for clarifying that. What book is that in?

[Dusk Eclipse]

In a little known and obscure book, known as the "The Book of Fighting Weeaboon Magik"

It is in ToB

[Marthinwurer]

Oops. When I heard about aptitude in ToB, I just thought of the warblade class ability. I really haven't looked in depth at the rest of the book, just skimming

[Dusk Eclipse]

It is a great enhancement, even when not using for some nasty tricks, it allows for neat stuff like using Shadow blade with non-shadow hand weapons... hmm now I want to combine lighting maces+shadow blade+Bloodclaw master + kukris....

[Cieyrin]

You may still be able to make it work so early, you'll just have to annoy the piss out of your local Artificer to magic up your weapon with Aptitude with one of his infusions. Make sure to get him Rings of Master Artifice later on and he may decide to forgive your constant pestering.

[Dusk Eclipse]

An later on your buddy artificer can make you your permanent aptitude weapons as they are only priced as a +1 bonus, with no other pre-requisites.

[Marthinwurer]

Hmmmm..... I guess that I need to get my friends playing something other than core some day.

[RafikiTheWise]

RafikiTheWise

You are correct, sir. That's often overlooked as one of the Champion's prereqs.

[Suichimo]

I know Warblades are already feat intensive, but if you can excuse getting Exotic Weapon Proficiency for something, or feats to fuel other feats, you can go ahead and add in the Education feat from Ebberon. That + Knowledge Devotion is easily worth it, in my eyes.

[Meriss]

Has anyone done any PO or TO on a Warblade/Psychic Warrior build? Gestalt or multi class, it don't matter, because I see a lot of possible skill combos and power help.

Mind you, you would want something that abuses the heck out of the action economy.

Hello, all.

Firstly I want to apologize for abandoning this, especially without any word. It was really not a cool thing to do. Stuff came up, and then more stuff, and then more, and by that time I wasn't even thinking of this site – but I should have notified you people and made arrangements.

But secondly and most importantly, I want to thank Harnel and everyone else for taking the project up. At this point I'd like to think it's not so much my project or Harnel's but ours as a whole.

It looks like it's been a couple of months since new content has been added, so I'm going to try resurrecting the original thread and moving all the new content to there, where I will hopefully start finishing it.

Hope to see you there, once it's back up.

Cool. Nice to see you back.

It's up and running.
