SorO_Lost: Hehe you will enjoy the rest of the books. And yes, I agree the first should have done more.
Eviltedzies, is your DM imposing a Level Adjustment on you? If so, how high?
My DM allowed me to take the Phantom template as a +2 LA.
Atm I am using either Iajutsu Strikes or full attacking with a two hands and power attack as my melee damage output.
