Hi folks, just started up a new campaign at 1st level, and I've settled on a Thri-Kreen, with plans to take up warblade, and I'm looking for suggestions on optimizing it. I'm using the racial progression for the thri-kreen from the back of the Complete Psionics book, which lets me take a couple of class levels mixed in with the Thri-Kreen HD and level adjustment over the first six levels (getting to pick a class level at 3rd and 5th).
Some stuff I know right now is that I'm definitely taking Multi-weapon fighting as a feat at 1st and Sudden Leap as one of my maneuvers when I take warblade at 3rd-level (+30 racial bonus to jump +4 for speed + 5 ranks = guaranteed 20 foot move followed by full attack). I can take 2 flaws if I want too.
Pretty much any WOTC source is fair game.
I only have proficiency with simple weapons to start with (courtesy of monstrous humanoid HD), and as I'm gaining martial proficiency at 3rd level with my 1st level of warblade, I really don't want to sink a feat into martial weapons. I've been toying with the idea of taking exotic WP (bastard sword) and oversized two-weapon fighting (which the DM is allowing with multi-weaon fighting), and two flaws but I'm not fixed on it. Two spiked chains is another combo I was mulling.
I've got a similar issue with armor, where I'll have none for 2 levels and pick some up at 3rd. I snagged leather (no armor check penalty, so no problems), but am looking for options.
Thoughts, ideas?
