Warblade maneuvers per level12/30/2023 ![]() Jade Phoenix Mage 4 -> bab, maneuvers, magic Human bard 1/warblade 2/ bard+3/Jade Phoenix Mage 4/Sublime Chord 2/JPM+4/Abjurant champion 2/JPM+2 I see you are a new D&D player, but if you are up to the challenge you can be: If I do Warblade, do I have to put most of my levels in it? Can I go mostly bard with some warblade? If I took the strongheart, wouldn't the extra feat just have to be used on dragon heritage, making it pointless? Otherwise, Glimmerskin Halfling (Dragon Magic) or Dragonborn of Bahumat Water Halfling (Races of the Dragon and Unearthed Arcana) would work well with Dragonfire Inspiration: See if Strongheart halfling is available (for the bonus feat). If you want something heavier, then consider the Battle Caster feat (Complete Arcane) + darkleaf full plate/heavy plate/mechanus gear/etc. Otherwise, save up for a darkleaf breastplate (counts as light armor, cheaper than mithral). charges.įor armor, ask your DM how he feels about chain shirt + dastana + chahar-aina (the latter may count as medium armor, in which case save up for feycraft/githcraft to reduce ASF to 0%). Steadfast Boots (1400 GP, MIC) + any two-handed weapon is great vs. Strongarm Bracers (6000 GP, MIC) lets you wield medium-sized weapons, and Gloves of the Balanced Hand (8000 GP, MIC) gives you TWF if you want to get in on some Snowflake Wardance. Jovar (Planar Handbook) is a pretty decent two-handed weapon with a good crit range. Keep a sling or some javelins handy.Īt 4th level, you have access to master's touch (Spell Compendium), which can give you proficiency with more interesting martial/exotic weapons. You may have better luck with ranged/thrown weapons (you are, after all, deadly with a pebble). ![]() If you don't have a Str bonus, consider wielding a whip-dagger (A&EG) + spiked gauntlet instead. Otherwise, if you have a decent Str bonus, try wielding a longsword two-handed. You'll probably have more success contributing to combat with debuffing (tripping with whips) or battlefield control (reach weapon, alchemical/splash weapons).įor weapons, consider starting with a longspear + spiked gauntlet (both simple weapons, plus two-handed and reach). You have a Strength penalty, and unless you went Dragonborn Water Halfling, your Constitution isn't going to be all that impressive. Otherwise, Glimmerskin Halfling (Dragon Magic) or Dragonborn of Bahumat Water Halfling (Races of the Dragon and Unearthed Arcana) would work well with Dragonfire Inspiration:ģ) Song of the Heart (Eberron Campaign Setting) How should I build it to be able to hold its own in combat?See if Strongheart halfling is available (for the bonus feat). Currently I'm rolling a halfling bard, so I'll have the dex bonus. I also love me some Jade Phoenix Mage: Bard 3/Warblade 2/Spellsword 1/Abjurant Champion 3/Jade Phoenix Mage 1/Sublime Chord 1/Jade Phoenix Mage +9 is all sorts of fun.Īlright, I'm just wanting to stick to straight bard. Is ToB available? I think the typical BardBlade (Bard + Warblade) is Bard 4/Warblade 16, although Bard 4/Crusader 16 also works with Song of the White Raven. You tend to have more spell slots than Bardic Music, and it gives you both an attack bonus and extra damage.ĭo you want a straight-up Bard 20, or are you looking to go Bardblaster with something like Bard 10/Sublime Chord 10? Second, it doesn't provide any bonus damage, and it can be difficult to fit in Dragonfire Inspiration/Inspire Courage optimization at the same time. You can try TWF with one-handed/light slashing weapons, bards don't get enough feats to really do that kind of combat style justice. First, it restricts you to one-handed slashing weapons, which nerfs your damage output (gishes do best with two-handed weapons, where you can still get Power Attack multipliers and let go with one hand to cast spells as a free action if need be). Snowflake Wardance is actually a bit of a trap. Slippers of Battle Dancing (33750 GP, DMGII) give you Cha bonus on attacks and damage. You burn 1 bardic music and gain +Cha-mod on damage, roughly.Snowflake Wardance grants your Cha bonus on just attacks, actually, not damage.
