Wadda ya think?

[Shisumo]

I think it looks really familiar.

I also think it is strictly better than the warrior NPC class, and therefore of suspect power level.

[Neon Knight]

Uncanny. Our classes differ greatly, however. Different BAB, different HD, different Discipline Style, mine can recover maneuvers...

Yours seems to represent an apprentice of a specific discipline, while mine represents an average soldier or warrior who happens to have ToB abilities.

Your version is also much more professional and complete.

I didn't copy yours, I just started with the warrior NPC class and added half warblade maneuver/stance progression. I do like yours, however.

As to its relative power level, I think it is certainly less powerful than any Martial Adept Base Class. I didn't balance this against fighters or other NPC classes. I just slapped on ToB abilities and called it a new class.
