Curious about martial styles meshing together.

[Infernum]

I have a request.

I am playing a character that will be entering Warblade at 11th level and am trying to see what styles are out there that would be useful. I ran across this one (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131567) know as Chthonic Serpent and was curious if it meshed well with Stone Dragon. Could you, say for instance, use a Mountain Hammer maneuver while you have someone grappled with the Boa Strike maneuver. Or if you could combo this with the Crushing Weight of the Mountain Stance from Stone Dragon.

If someone could check this out for me and let me know I would be very grateful.

Since ToB was published after the PHB, there really aren't rules for initiating strikes in a grapple. You'd have to ask your DM. Generally, though, you can do things that are standard action in a grapple, so it SHOULD be ok, but consult your DM.

And yes, being in Crushing Roots of the Mountain stance when you intiate Boa Strike would land you extra damage. Constrict is sexy!
