Warblade maneuvers 3.5 full#

As the Abjurer gains in levels, his main job should be boosting you in battle, staying out of the fight and using Reserve Feats like Fiery Burst, Storm Bolt, and Acidic Splatter.So you're including Swashbuckler to get your Int bonus to damage with finesseable weapons. 1st level Spells that are great would be Protection from Evil, Enlarge Person, Magic Weapon, Persistant Blade (for flanking). Don't spread yourself too thin for your disciplines becuase you won't make the prerequisites for higher level maneuvers as most of them require 2-3 maneuvers of the same discipline.įor sidekicks, I like Clerics of Lathander/Amaunator for their undead-destruction abilities, Druids of Silvanus with the usual Summon Nature's Ally boosting and Wild Shape spamming style, or even a Abjurer wizard who boosts you with his spells, then goes into War Weaver/Abjurant Champion. If your starting at 1st level, pick 3 disciplines you really like and fit your style and go from there. My advise on maneuvers (if starting higher than 1st level) is picking the ones you like the most at the highest level and work your way down to 1st level. Try to get the DM to allow you the option of swapping out 1 maneuver or stance a level if it doesn't work in addition to the level 4 and up swaps your allowed for normal progression. The main problem I'm having, is trying to think of legal combinations at low levels I wont regret at late levels.Įdit: not looking for a level by level thing, just highlights and pitfalls, perhaps a few landmarks. I wouldn't think I need to worry about saves too early as that's more or less what lead me to needing a new character this time. Open to good suggestions for complimentary sidekicks I could pitch too, 3.5 using the 3rd ed FRCs, set somewhere in the north at the moment, DM has a dislike of Bards. Plan was to go 1-15 as sword-sage, to maximise my initiator level when I take MoN so I can cherry pick the styles for him. Psionics is off the table, just came out of a rather, unfortunate psionicly themed game. Given master of the nine, I don't see him really wanting to dip more than 4 moves into any style unless its key, though I had already earmarked Iron Heart Surge as a Master of nine move to grab. Right now, I'm thinking a mix of Desert wind, for flare and odd effects, Stone dragon, for the DR breakers, Devoted spirit via feats to get Crusader strike and the healing stance, some counters and a throw from setting sun. Level 1-20, going to lobby for a sidekick, though from my last taste, early on improved inititave will win fights. Have you considered talking to the GM about playing a gestalt character, having a clerical sidekick, or the like? Starting as a Warblade might give you both more survivability, and let you 'earn' your mastery of martial arts, by giving you the in-character option of just hitting people harder and having that work.Īlso, solo play in 3.5E when you're not a primary caster can end badly suddenly. Tiger Fang lets you pounce on a charge, or leap as a minor to set up a charge.)

Iron Heart gives you stances that help you charge. White Raven enhances your charges terrifyingly. (Shock trooper allows horrible power attack charges.

Then around level 4, you can decide whether or not you want to multiclass into Swordsage (and start your Swordsage maneuver trees at the level 2 maneuvers due to stacking initiator levels), or optionally, just show up later and return in triumph with the Shock Trooper feat being your new martial style. You're tougher, can hit hard even without expending a maneuver each round, and can pick maneuvers based on your theme of unruly bastard.

White Raven and Devoted Spirit both have a lot of teammate-boosting effects, so you might end up either using severe cherrypicking or just not going all out.Īctually, based on the description, have you considered leveling in Warblade instead? If your character's schtick is that he hits really hard but isn't as focused on forms and focus, then giving him full BAB and a d12 HD sounds like it might work better. You know, a lot of the schools expect a party.
