So my group just finished a quest we have used the better part of a month to plan how to solve and we have finally reached lvl 10.

So I really want a bonus feat on this level, but I have also really been wanting to be able to know a stance/maneuver as well.

Are there any classes that would grant me a bonus feat and access to stances/maneuvers at 1st level in the class?

Someone mentioned Crusader, but I couldn't find that it gave any bonus feats. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance :)

None of the Tome of Battle classes provide a free bonus feat at first level. The swordsage offers something like Weapon Focus, and the Bloodstorm Blade grants Throw Anything. That's it.

You can dip a level in martial monk. That gets you Improved Unarmed Strike plus a fighter feat, which you can spend on Martial Study/Martial Stance. Long-term, it's a terrible way to get maneuvers, but it works if you really want that one trick.

You can get a bonus feat from a magical location, such as the Otyugh Hole or the Frog God's Lane.
