9/4/2023 0 Comments Good warblade gestalt![]() You need a free hand to cast a spell with a somatic component, and to cast a spell with a material or focus component, you need that component at hand (which usually means you need a free hand to manipulate it). If the duskblade has a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, can they still cast spells? If not, why carry a shield? The duskblade’s armored mage class feature (PH2 20) allows you to cast spells while wearing a shield with no arcane spell failure. If you're using a 2-hander, not a big deal, but if you're sword and shield then you can't channel. You can wield a greatsword, remove a hand from it, cast a spell, and then go back to doublehanding in a single turn.Īccording to WOTC a duskblade needs a free hand to cast a spell. You can change how many hands you have on a weapon as a free action. Also keep in mind you can channel non-damaging spells for some neat effects - Dimension Hop can be used to forcefully reposition an enemy you hit, for example.Īnd only if they have a free hand for somatic components You shouldn't need more than one or two different damage spells to channel, the same ones will continue to gain power with levels. True, there's not a ton of variety, but they don't need a million different options. They have like 6 melee touch spells that they can channel through their weapon by level 20 They also get some buffs, debuffs, and tactical spells, giving them some utility. Their spells also give them options against enemies that are otherwise hard to fight with conventional weapons (such as high-DR enemies or swarms), making them somewhat more versatile. Compared to a Fighter, Duskblades have a niche in being able to do the bulk of their damage with a single standard action every round, rather than relying on full attacks. They're not as powerful as the full caster classes, sure, but I would call them far from useless.

You get a lot more flexibility while gaining most of the potency you'd get from Crusader. Get all the best Crusader maneuvers from Master of Nine, get tons of maneuvers from Swordsage (and gaining a few from shadow hand is really worth it), and get Iron Heart with Warblade. In Tristalt you will get far more mileage out of Swordsage/Warblade than you would Crusader/Warblade, particularly if you use it and Warblade as a launching point for Master of Nine (Unarmed swordsage nets some requirements, warblade feats can get you more, making it a lot less painful to enter- and all the more worth it). Unless you can coerce your DM to allow Kung-Fu Genius to work with Unarmed Swordsage ![]()
