First off, I know this question is a choice between several less-than-optimal alternatives.
I've been playing an Archivist with a 1 level dip in rogue and the Able Learner feat, and filling the roles of healer, skill-monkey, buffer, and even batman, depending on what other players show up to game on a given week. I enjoy versatility over being uber-awesome at a single thing.
So, the campaign is about over. I just hit level 21. I'm considering my options, and I'd really like to get martial weapon and shield proficiency, because, in a pinch, I'd like to be able to cast Time Stop, buff the cr@p out of myself, and tank. So, I was thinking that the return on investment is probably better for a one level dip in Crusader or Warblade, rather than some other martial class, since I'd be effectively and 11th level initiator. Since the campaign is almost over, this is sort of a mental exercise, since the character will probably only have a couple of more combats before he gets retired, and those will be mostly clean-up, since the BBEG is already destroyed.
Since I've never played a ToB character, I'm looking for advice.
If it matters... human, chaotic good, high int and dex, some cha. Pretty much any WotC books allowed.
Thanks.
