Since they’re the poster boys of the franchise, they have an absurd number of different units available. They are the elite fighting force of the God-King Sigmar, fighting against overwhelming odds across all the Mortal Realms to reclaim them for Order and civilization. The Stormcast Eternals are, in many ways, the protagonists of the Age of Sigmar fictional universe, or at least, they are the focus of most major events in the game’s history such as the starter sets for new editions. You only need to qualify for a maneuver or stance when selecting it, you won't lose access to a maneuver/stance if you swap out another maneuver and lose its prerequisites.7 Other resources Overview of Stormcast Eternals Army One last thing to keep in mind is that stances count as maneuvers for purposes of qualifying for additional maneuvers/stances. Regardless, after you take a two level dip you can just stick to taking more warblade levels for the rest of your career.

If you go with dungeoncrasher, you'll want a race that counts as large size such as a goliath in Races of Stone, along with the feat knock-back from that same book. If you go with barbarian, you can get knock-down without spending any feats to qualify for it.

Most characters will take either two levels of fighter, which can include the dungeoncrasher alternate class feature in Dungeonscape if you're going for one of the better gimmicks, or two levels of barbarian, which will often use the wolf totem variant and the whirling frenzy variant in Unearthed Arcana, as well as trading fast movement for pounce via the Complete Champion alternate class feature. There's also a few fairly strong multiclassing options if you don't care about its stance mastery class feature or don't expect to reach 20th level.ĭue to how your initiator level for your maneuvers and stances is determined, it's beneficial to multiclass two levels into something else prior to your fourth warblade level, so the second stance you learn can be a 3rd level stance. If you have some specific gimmick in mind, however, you may need to make the build a bit more complicated. Bard 4/Warblade 2/Jade Phoenix Mage is cool (or wizard or wujen 5/warblade 1/jpm 10).įor anyone building a 3.5 character who's unfamiliar with the rules, you should type '3.5 handbook' into google and check out any results at brilliantgameologists, minmaxboards, or giantitp ( never go to dandwiki or any other wiki-style sites).įor a warblade, you generally can't go wrong just sticking to that class for your entire career, it's going to be good enough to still be viable at 20th level if you don't multiclass or prestige class. There's also a lot of great feats (especially song of the white raven for bard/warblades) and other things in Tome of Battle, you should definitely page through and see if there's any PrCs you like. Add leap attack to skyrocket your charge damage. Grab a level of Lion Totem Barbarian if you want pounce - the ability to make multiple attacks at the end of a charge. Shock Trooper is a great feat if you plan to charge and power attack (you should, it's a great damage boost when you don't want to use a maneuver). If I recall correctly there are some INT based abilities, so knowledge devotion could synergize with that and give you some extra damage/to-hit. You can mostly pick maneuvers that sound powerful or seem to synergize with two-handed weapons.įor feats you definitely want power attack.

The class is kind of like 5e's Battlemaster Fighter, in that it has maneuevers it can use in certain circumstances. It's pretty hard to mess up a warblade, especially compared to a base fighter.
