One vs Many [3.5]

[Beelzebub1111]

What would you say that the best maneuvers to take for a fifth level swordsage that wants to take on multiple opponents at once? Any other feats or class recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Holocaust cloak is useful when you get access to it, but isn't useful in the long term, so is hard to pick.

Pearl of black doubt gets better in proportion to the number of foes you're facing.


But honestly, it is hard to answer that question without knowing the number of enemies you plan on facing. Is it 2-4, 4-8, 8-16, small army or big army?

[Beelzebub1111]

About 6-7 enemies. I'll have some backup from a Psionicist (Shaper) and one other undetermined (can't decide on spellcaster or melee tank-ish) We're all warforged. Evil game. Scouts of the lord of blades tasked with seeking out and destroying any humans who enter the lands. We're expected to be killing adventuring parties. Scavengers/Prospectors, avengers, scouts that sort of thing (to top it off, any advice for a class for the third guy?)
