So a long time ago, about a year at this point I suppose, we started work on the War-Marked. It was supposed to be the first of a new and exciting set of martial classes. It was. The newer set were easy to read, and easier to reason about. The War-marked was rapidly devoured by its children, and has fallen into disrepair. However, recently with Legend moving towards the final production stages, there's been a renewed interest in the origins of some of the concepts that form the basis for Legend, and in fact, even in War-Marked for its own sake.
To clarify, War-Marked is a deeply supernatural replacement for the Fighter, designed to be in the middle of Tier Two. One design goal was that it have plenty of optimization headroom, which is certainly the case. It bears some similarities to Tome of Battle, and draws equal heritage from Incarnum. In retrospect, it may well have been over-designed.
While it's not finished, it's certainly playable. Some of the most memorable and interesting Test of Spite battles involved War-Marked in some capacity.

ANd you guys won't ever finish it? That makes me sad.
Well, we're finishing Legend at the moment. Once that's done, maybe we'll clean up old projects and re-release them. At the moment though, as you can see, War-marked is effectively Copy-left'd. Anyone who wants to use, extend, or otherwise abuse War-Marked can.
