I've got a very charismatic warblade who I'm hoping to use to end fights with enemy troop leaders in a hurry by calling them out and embarrassing them in front of their troops.
With intimidating strike. A feat from the PHBII, I get a bonus depending on how much of a penalty I put on my attack roll. Since most of the opposing commanders are likely to be full plate and heavy shield, it dawned on me that I could really pump a lot into the attack penalty if I used the Emerald Razor maneuver to make the attack a melée touch.
But, can I use a maneuver at the same time that I'm using the intimidating strike feat? I've put as much as I can into cranking my warblade's charisma, Intimidate and Duel of Wills ability. I just want to make sure I can slap that Shaken conditon on my enemies when I need to.
Basically, my game plan is:
Call out enemy commander.
Engage in duel of wills, win.
Round 1, charge and attack, using Intimidating Strike to make him look like a punk, and using Wall of Blades to block one of his attacks.
Round 2, use my standard action to Demoralize Opponent and hopefully frighen the enemy.
Round 3, ???
