The damage doesn't get reduced for size, so you can use Compression to get even smaller and still put out just as much damage.

Power Attack also works with it, provided your Str score is high enough to get that. therefore, you should be able to use melee strikes with the energy lash as though it were a standard whip. Martial Study is a feat which grants a maneuver, which can then be used with a standard whip. Any feat that can be used with a standard whip can be used with the energy lash. Starting out you get an electrical whip (think Iron Man 2), in the next few levels you get tricks like a shocking touch and an at-will lightning bolt, and the ability to charge up your whip with even more electricity. Beast Strike from Dragon Magazine 355 is a feat that allows you to add claw damage to unarmed strikes.įinal build: Warblade 20// (Unarmed) Swordsage 1/ Psychic Warrior 3/ Swordsage 1/ Electrokineticist () 10 (variant Pyrokineticist ())/ Psychic Warrior 5 With Duskblade or Warblade on the other side you won't lose any proficiencies.ĮDIT: Beast Claws from Savage Species is a set of spiked gauntlets that are altered to allow claw attacks. I still reommend going for Mo9, by using the Unarmed Swordsage adaptation for access to IUS. Plus, based on the ability modifiers of his race, he's going to want to be in a Shadow Hand stance for most combats.Īlthough, in terms of raw power, the Swordsage//Duskblade is excelent, +1 to that. If he focuses on balancing the action economy by selecting maneuvers on one side that don't interfere with the other, then he should be fine with this concept. The Swordsage has excelent boosts and situational maneuvers while the warblade has some of the best offensive maneuvers. Other alternatives that I can think of off-hand would require some knowledge of what your DM's opinion on how prestige classes work in gestalt(The RAW here is just plain dumb, and a lot of us houserule it to something more like 'keep prestige class pre-reqs on one side, and don't overclock class features in ways you couldn't do in non-gestalt'). If you go this route, talk to your DM about a feat to either rekey the Duskblade's casting stat to Wisdom or even better, key your Swordsage's wisdom-based class features to Int(Changing casting stats is a fairly common Dragon and 3rd party feat, iirc, while Monk has Carmendine Monk and Ascetic Psion for changing the stat for AC bonus). You'll lose the d12 HD, but that's only 2 HP/level on average.

Channeling shocking grasp into your melee attacks(works with maneuvers by RAW!) will add to your 'electric' feel, while you still keep the good fort and full BAB. And that'll also be true of any strikes you want to use.Ī better alternative, without getting too complicated, would be Duskblade//Swordsage. You're going to need to pick to be a swordsage or warblade stance user in any given round. You can't be in 2 stances at the same time. See, the thing is, Warblade and Swordsage provide the same system of abilities. Figured SS/WB gestalt wouldn't be too bad The character just needs to be electricity based. Maybe stick to Warblade on one side and switch out of Swordsage after two levels (take those two levels at your 1st and anywhere from 4th-6th character level). Seriously though, you would be much better off switching one of those classes to something else.

You can also get all of your starting gear at a 10% discount, which should make up for at least a third off that 3,000 gp cost. For 3,000 gp you'll get the feat Agile Athlete without spending any of your feats on it, which allows you to use Dex instead of Str on Climb and Jump checks. Say your character has climbed The Highest Spire, a location detailed in Complete Scoundrel. 6th level 3 flaws allowed Character is Swordsage/Warblade GestaltĬustom race of tiny size with -6 str, +6 dex, +2 Wisġ: Discipline Focus: Shadow Hand (Weapon Focus)įuture feats: Weapon Specialization: Shortsword or Dagger, Melee Weapon Mastery, GTWF, Greater Weapon Focus/Specialization, Weapon Supremacy
