Hi all! I'm here once more asking for help on something!
A player of mine is going on a big, epic quest to gather the nine swords from Tome of Battle and to add his homebrewed discipline as a tenth.
Part of what I'm going to put him through, therefore, will be a sequence in which the spirits of the nine masters who taught Reshar will take up the nine swords and fight him.
This will be followed by a fight with Reshar himself.
So I'm trying to stat a master for each discipline and Reshar himself, and while some are fairly obvious, (Reshar as Master of Nine, Tiger Claw master as Bloodclaw Master, etc) some have me entirely stumped. (Iron Heart master, for instance.)
The ones I've thought of so far are:
Reshar, Master of Nine.
Tiger Claw master, Bloodclaw Master.
Stone Dragon master, Deepstone Sentinel.
Shadow Hand master, possibly Shadow Sun Ninja, but unsure? The light stuff is a bit iffy.
Any ideas for any of the remainder?
EDIT: I have an additional question as well: I'm trying to pin down races for the original nine. I'm having some trouble.
So far, I've thought of:
Iron Heart - Hobgoblin (Because that's confirmed)
Desert Wind - Human? (Canonically desert siroccos, race not stated)
Devoted Spirit - No idea (Really stumped on this one)
Diamond Mind - Githyanki, (Because that's canon)
Setting Sun - Halflings? (It would fit the judo-esque theme, and the fact that the Setting Sun sword shrinks to match a small wielder)
Shadow Hand - Tengu? (It would fit the shadow theme)
Stone Dragon - Dwarf or Goliath? (Dwarf would fit Deepstone Sentinel, the tale of their blade implies Goliaths invented the style, though. Not sure which to go with)
Tiger Claw - No clue. (Hopefully something bestial, but can't think of anything that would fit and be sentient, sapient, and capable of teaching Reshar)
White Raven - Some variety of elf? (Lore on the White Raven crown suggests they came up with the discipline)
Any and all help would be muchly appreciated, please. :)
