Would anyone be interested to see some of the fringe classes/ concepts revamped into alternate Tome of Battle Disciplines?
The two I'm thinking of adapting and integrating into ToB are the Soulknife and the (dun dun duuuhhn!) Truenamer.
This is all very sketchy at best, but here are some ideas for both:
Soulknife: Make the associated skill Autohypnosis. Stances could be used to create various types of mindblades. (not sure I'm keen on that, but it's a starting point) Strikes and boosts could be used to mimic soulknife class features.
Truenamer: I know. It doesn't seem very ToB at first glance. However, Recitations are very much like stances, and would actually be useful if they were expanded upon and used the same mechanic. Truespeech would be an obvious associated skill. A lot of the Utterances could be converted into Maneuvers rather easily. Replace the current horrible spell mechanic with something that allows truespeech to boost the effectiveness of many of the maneuvers (as several existing maneuvers rely on various skill check already.)
