Warblade/Crusader Min/Max me

[Dari]

Heya guys. Ive got a Human Crusader1/Warblade1 with extra granted maneuver and power attack as the feats. My stances are Punishing stance and Martial spirit. My Warblade maneuvers are Steel wind, Saphire nightmare blade, and moment of perfect mind. My Crusader manuvers are crusaders strike, charging minotaur, stone bones, and leading the attack.
i just turned level three and i dont know what feat or class to take next. im the tank of this party and i can deal out fairly substantial damage and there is an artificer in the party so i can get a great deal of magic items cheaply. Can i get some suggestions?

Dipping warblade often enough to pick up the concentration saves and IHS is a good idea.

What's your stats look like?

Really, just sticking to the ToB classes is fairly hard to screw up.

If your DM will allow you to retcon your race to elf (preferably wild, wood, or snow), you've got the beginning of a fairly decent Eternal Blade there. If you want to go EB, warblade 8/crusader 2/EB 10 is an excellent build.

Regardless of whether you go EB or not, with a crusader I recommend a battlefield control build. See if you can retrain your first-level feats – rather than Extra Granted Maneuver, take EWP (spiked chain), and then get Improved Trip. Feats like Defensive Sweep will be your friend in the future. I recommend taking a look at both the Warblade Handbook (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176968) and Crusader Handbook (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181655).
