How would one go about statting Prince Nuada and his unique fighting style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKI-NM4ulPw&feature=related)?
Was actually contemplating designing a battle spirit, the Bladenkreutz or Swordsaints, that embody in its totality, the concepts of glorious battle and swordmanship.

Looks like a Warblade specializing in Iron Heart and Tiger Claw (for the leaping attacks).

Most likely with Combat Expertise > Improved Disarm, Quick Draw and Improved Trip. Oh, and TWF-line obviously. Though it did remind me of a Dervish too.

I always thought he was more a swordsage than a warblade, but iron heart does seem apropriate. Maybe he's gestalt fighter for all those feats?

Also, I stated up his weapon a while ago: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90295

P.S. He also has quite a few movement skill tricks, especially the tumbling ones.

Yeah, warblade with maybe some TWF levels of ranger. And use that weird Dragon Compendium race that is actually linked together twins, so you can get Nuala in there as well.

I see him as warblade, both for the full-on-ness of his combat, and also because I see Warblades as inhumanly good at combat (Tiger Claw style leaps), and Swordsages as supernaturally good at combat.

I'm probably go with Swordsage; I mean, he's an Elf! ;D You're going to want some 'Elfsenses, tingling!' to AC while you wear your fancy leather jerkin made of leaves.

So basically he has a sword that can increase its reach by 5 feet?
Loses to a grapple check vs Hellboy.
