So one of my players was asking for a possible equivalent of a swordsage's monk adaption ability, but for a warblade.
Now thematically, I have an issue, but realistically, there is no reason a "warblade" couldn't gain extra unarmed damage in the same way a "swordsage" can.
Now I understand the argument that SS = Monk Upgrade, CD = Paladin Upgrade, WB = Fighter/Swashbuckler Upgrade, but fighters can build unarmed if done correctly.
So two questions for you guys:
1) Should I even consider allowing an adaption like this?
and
2) lets say I do, Monk's Unarmed Strike Progression <- Light Armor, but what about medium armor? Obviously Medium requires light, but not many things require a monks unarmed strike progression. An opinion on the table was Intelligence to AC but i don't think the warblade needs to get an improvement like that...
Thanks, srgtsilent
