Hello y`all!
For the campaign running atm our DM changed some former limitations (namely any lockage past Level 5 for the freer side, see my other threads for reference if you like), which in turn made me decide to go Master of the 9 for one side of a Gestalt soonish.
Now since I need to go Warblade or a Prestige Classes fitting to it FIXED on one side, I decided to swap levels of Rogue from the other (aiming for Telflammar Shadowlord there, thank the forum for helping me find that one! :D ) to add levels of Swordsage, to get the needed "Maneuvers from 6 Schools" prereq..
(Addendum: Our GM forgoes any prerequesitess mentioning Dodge and its Ilk, as well as unarmed strike for nonmonks/unarmed SSaes or Weapon Focus-line feats, as Quote: "They are so horribly bad that you would look for ways to retrain/switch/sell them later anyway, so just forget it". Maneuver and Skill prerequs (as well as BAB, level etc) remain, so given Master of the Nine requires 10 RANKS in 4 Skills, I can go to it at Level 11 at the earliest.
This gives me some time to further plan out the build (ergo tell me if I have overlooked a not too cheesy/completely place or other DM approval dependent thing^^).Plan at the Moment is as follows:
Rogue Side (atm Level 5 Rogue): Level 6 and 7 Swordsage, Level 8, 9, 10 and 11 Telflammar Shadowlord, 12-16 Rogue, then a Warblade at the last four Levels.
Warblade Side (Level 5 Warblade atm, limited to Warblade and no more than 2 Prestige CLasses that "fit"): Warblade until 11, then master of the Nine from 12-16, then Legacy Champion until 20 (Master of the Nine). THat way I`ll get another 5 Maneuvers and 3 Readied from Mot9.
Should leave me with 4 readied Maneuvers (7 known, and 2 stances) from Swordssage, 5 readied (9 known and 4 stances) from Warblade and another 9 (and 13 known, 4 stances) maneuvers from Master of the 9+Legacy Champion. 14 readied with the Warblade recovery method should get me through any and all long battles with plenty of choices.
Any suggestions? Am I overlooking anything?
Also a Question:Are the additional maneuvers gained through Master of the 9 available for readying for any of the Initator Classes that are a prerequisite/you used to qualify for it (as the fluff would suiggest given its Mastery of everything theme)? Or do you have to choose one (would only marginally worsen the build if so, but one can ask^^).
Thank you in advance for your help!
