Precocious Apprentice, basically.

And Magic Training.

Basically, be a 1st level human who has magical training and is a precocious apprentice, or be a flawed being who is a precocious apprentice and is magically trained.

so looking over options....



Warlock abilities do not benefit or trigger

Mystic Phoenix Stance
Empowering Strike
Firebird Stance
Quickening Strike


but my awesome magical training, 3 spells that are level 0 , can ?

Warlock can't use most of JPM abilities. I wouldn't bother.

Not the class features, anyway. You might be able to find some useful interactions between the maneuvers and, say, Eldritch Glaive, but even that's going to be tricky - you'll mostly be limited to defensive maneuvers and boosts.

There is one build, but it's pretty narrow. A dragonmarked halfling can get into the Nosomatic Chirurgeon prestige class with a bit of skill-fu, which lets you spontaneously trade SLA uses for Inflict-line spells. Those could benefit from the X Strike abilities, and if you can find a way to add the Fire descriptor, you could benefit from Firebird Stance as well. I'm still not sure I'd recommend it.

It gets better with Eldritch Claw.
For a glaivelock, a Warblade dip is all you need, really.

You know, I think Heartfire Fanner (Dragon #314) might actually do something like that.
