== Ratings =={{Rating |rater=Leziad|rating=neutral|reason=I really want to like this class more. However it has a few problems, for one medium bab and greatly delayed sneak attack progression make it almost strictly inferior to the rogue. Now the maneuvers should make up for it but the recovery method is plain bad (as swordsage, please waste a feat so it not horrible!). Considering how they get no bonus feats having to spend one to use your main class feature properly is just cruel. The specialized maneuvers look fun, sadly since they need to be readied as normal they compete with the discipline maneuvers, which mean by level 7 or so you will stop using your specialized maneuvers entirely. Recommendation: A simple fix would be to give them good base attack bonus and make their recovery mechanism as a simple move action. Not so easy fix would be reviewing the specialized maneuvers and make them scale better, which would involve probably dividing them in levels.}}== Swordsage recovery, really? ==
I fail to understand why you use the worst form of recovery in existence for this class, considering that this class can't even mitigate for it using Adaptive Style due to its prerequisites. Please change it to hard-wire the benefits of Adaptive Style into this class' recovery. For the children. - [[User:MisterSinister|MisterSinister]] 19:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:Already spoke to you this in chat, but for general FYI... I actually dislike the swordsage mechanic and often houserule or handwave it elsewhere. But since my games =/= other games I stuck with the WotC method. Anyway I'll slip it into the adaptive section. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] 20:33, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
