It's been a very long time since I've played a non-spellcaster in D&D, but recently I've decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, I've either forgotten or simply can't find the answers to a few of the more martial-oriented questions I've run into. I was hoping some of you could help me out.
1. Threatened Squares: Say I'm playing a Warblade with the Improved Unarmed Combat feat and wielding a Glaive. First, can I still make unarmed strikes even though I'm wielding a two-handed weapon (I believe I can)? Second, and if so, am I actively threatening both adjacent squares and those I can reach with my glaive? And third, if I do gain an attack of opportunity against an adjacent foe, do I have to attack with my unarmed strike or am I free to use my glaive?
2. Maneuvering: Assume the above character has the Sudden Leap maneuver. Jumping is limited by your normal movement range if I'm not mistaking. If you use a move action to move your full distance, can you still use Sudden Leap to move further still? What about using your standard action to make another Jump check?
3. Oddities of Reach: As a callback to the first question, say the Warblade also has the Wolf Fang Strike maneuver. What happens when you have Improved Unarmed Strike and a reach weapon and are attacking someone at your maximum reach? Do you still get the unarmed strike as per the maneuver, or are you screwed because they're out of range?
Thanks in advance!
