So long story short, when I began this campaign I am now currently in and wanted to be a warforged, this being my first tiem playing d&d ever, and my DMs first encounter with the little buggers, we agreed on my being a warforged scout. Well, through play, mine and my DMs love of megaman and the X series, he pretty much got megamaned. He got a buster and the like etc, got a charge shot, slide etc. Well I was looking at Docent and shot them by him. Instead of the normal bonuses the DM decided to say "F-this, I can make them better, and boy, you are going to need it." Suffice to say after this last session, I had a choice between three "armor upgrades" essentially slapping me into X status with his shadow armor from X6.http://a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/63/c6aa61ca18499ad9b633db6d14447359/l.jpg My other choices included the blade armor or his X4 armor with a 5% chance to become the ult armor from the series, but I preferred the look of the Shadow Armor, and it also fit my characters theme much better.
With this I got a Z saber, which is fun, along with a few abilities that translate from in game to D&D, such as spider climb at will, stealth bonus, Getting slapped up to medium size instead of small, which I took, etc. In any case, I am a rogue 10/ swordsage 4 at the moment, (we also just leveled, and I am putting it into ss to be 10/rogue 5/ss.) My biggest question is what maneuvers and stances would you recommended reflect this transition. I am mostly using shadow hand and Diamond mind at the moment along with a few Desert wind to reflect both X's and Zero's fight styles, since the armor combines the two together essentially in game with more focus being on melee rather than range now. Stances include, child of shadow, Holocaust cloak and Assassin's Stance at the moment. What ones would you choose next for some maneuvers and stances. I am planning on taking ss until 10 as well for a split of 10/10, but ideas to fit the theme such as more rogue, or prestige are welcome as well.
TL:DR:
Warforged scout got bumped to medium size and now reflects X from Megaman X6 in his shadow armor, suggestions for feats, stances, maneuvers, and possible class selection for the last five levels to continue reflecting his fighting style of single handed combat and stealth.
