On a curious note - people always comment on how effective (broken etc) the warblade is.
#WARBLADE MANEUVERS 3.5 FULL#
When he didn't full attack, he charged and used leap attack - he routinely did over 50 - and when he rolled a crit -well lets just say it was overkill. if he was full attacking 35 HP per round was low (granted he was hasted, but even without the haste he would have been up there). Charm person 1st round - Charm monster/dominate 2nd round.įinally, the 2 times I've seen a warblade in play (once playing one, once DMing) the moment of perfect mind has not been the least bit overpowering (or in the case when I DMed even that effective, the player wished he'd readied something else).Īs for damage per round: In our last combat we had a 7th level bararian along with us. The swordsage can recover the manuever, but can do nothing else on his action.īecause of the above, relying on this manuever keeps the warblade on the defensive, not the place an effective warblade wants to be.īy mid levels, and wizard with lots of will save spells will have caught on. This means it actually takes 3 rounds before you can use this manuever again. You have to ready it as a manuever - for the warblade this is a significant investment - even for the swordsage it's not miniscule.īy using the manuever (as an immediate action) - the warblade cannot recover manuevers on his turn, as his swift action is considered expended.
You have to focus on concentration which means one of your focuses is diamond mind - a good school but only 1 school. Let's see if I hit most of them (even already mentioned I suppose) I'd say there's quite a bit of difference between adhering to all these restrictions and just getting a feat that can be used every other round without any restrictions.Īs other's have stated, it's not even close to this powerful - there are many more downsides. It also means that you have to do without your manoeuvres half the time. This means that from the 4+ manoeuvres you have prepared, you have to ignore at least half. You have to use it (and maybe another, like a strike, in the same round), and not use any other manoeuvres in the following round (since you need to spend your swift action regaining your manoeuvres, and are then forced to do a normal, regular, vanilla attack or waste a standard action practically doing nothing). In order to be using the manoeuvre, you'll have to give up some other manoeuvre.Īlso, you can't just use it every two rounds. You also have to devote one of your manoeuvres to this. (Not too great a hindrance, I give you that) You have to devote some of your blade magic resources to the Diamond Mind discipline, and for a warblade that often means taking it as one of his two disciplines. I just wish the manuevers had been more fully playtested, preferably by a bunch of powergamers, to find the holes. DM sir! )Īll that said: It's still a fun class to see in action! As a DM, I've had to make adjustments, but I can handle it. Illusionary puzzles and tricks? Don't bother, Mr. (For example: Say the martial adept walk into an illusion-cloaked room with the party.there's virtually no chance the martial adept will fail an out-of-combat Will save. Our Mnk 2/WB 5 has maxed out his concentration skill (he now has a +22 on the check), and so always makes Will saves and can routinely do 35 hp of damage as a Std Action strike. IMG the current problem children are "Moment of Perfect Mind" and "Insightful Strike" manuevers. In addition, I'm finding that some of the manuevers and stances are overpowered.
The problem is that the Warblade and Swordsage are not balanced with respect to the core fighting classes. Most people (me, frex) agree the Warblade/Swordsage/Crusader are fun.
