Does anyone have a sample Thri-Kreen + Warblade build so I can see what numbers it can pull?
Well, supposing a non-psionic Thri-Kreen (Shining South) and the UA LA buy-off, the build would look like this:
Thri-Kreen 2/Warblade 4/Bloodclaw Master 3/Warblade 11
bab: 19 - Pro: high bab means many attacks - Con: needed high Dex and Str
As pointed out, the only trouble is the required high Dex and Str (the latter being less important with maneuvers like Griallon windmill fleshrip).
It could be interesting a confrontation between the above one and the following:
Thri-Kreen 2/Swordsage 4/Bloodclaw Master 2/Swordsage 12
bab: 15 - Pro: Dex sinergy, we can dump Str with Shadow Blade - Con: 1 less attack (less effective with all of these maneuvers that work well with an high number of attacks)
If ACFs are allowed, with the
Soldier of Shadow ACF we can get the best of both solutions:
Thri-Kreen 2/Warblade 4/Bloodclaw Master 3/Warblade 11
bab: 19 - Pro: Dex sinergy, we can dump Str with Shadow Blade - Con: lose access to 2 disciplines (one being probably Stone Dragon), not entirely sure this is a con
