I only recently discovered the Tome of Battle (well, re-discovered). So now I'm looking at it, Crusader amongst others, and Im thinking how incredibly cool would it be to change my Main party's Fighter levels (first four) into Crusader levels instead? (No seriously, I'm asking!) He's a Paladin for the rest of the way, up until I haven't decided how high yet but lets just say he keeps going a long time. I took the first four levels in Fighter mainly for the added Feats to help him tank.
The build so far:
1-4: Fighter.
5-7: Paladin.
Feats: Power Attack, Dodge, Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe, Shield Specialisation -> Active Shield Defense, Improved Shield Bash (->Agile Shield Fighter at lvl9).
He's the party tank. I want(ed) to build him as a Shield fighter, I think that'd be cool. Blocking and knocking out teeth all over the place. But now that I've read into the Crusader class, I'm having second thoughts. And the worst thing is, I already swapped this guy for my Fighter Barbarian I started out with (yeah, I'm that guy).
Tho technically I wouldn't be changing characters, I still fear a book to the head in in the cards if I suggest this. Therefor, I ask you kind Giants, do you think a swap from Fighter to Crusader could/would be worth it?
Your two cents, please.
