What books are Factotum and Eternal Blade in? --Lord Mattos 02:55, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dungeonscape and Tome of Battle respectively. --Ghostwheel 03:05, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

The table says only 1 level of Factotum while the text below it says 2 Factotum and no Fighter. Similarly, parts of the text treat the build as having Factotum 2 while others treat it as not having Factotum 2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.129.175 (talk • contribs) at

Thanks! Fixed where I saw, let me know if I missed anywhere? --Ghostwheel 07:14, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

I don't get what the one level of Factotum is for. 3 levels helps you get Brains over Brawn and only take the 1 BAB. Take the 3 levels or take none. Once you lose the 1 BAB and can't get Eternal Blade 10 you might as well take the 3 levels of Factotum. I am working on a factotum 3 swashbuckler 3 warblade 13 EB 1 (EB1 at 13 to get the fun RP sooner rather than later). I get the level nine maneuver but it does well leveling up instead of just at the late levels. Overall I love the int based warrior ideas and one like Link automatically rocks. One feat to look into is keen intellect and that should help with being high int low wis.

The reason for that is because you want to get higher-level maneuvers as soon as possible. Taking 2 non-warblade levels means you're only 1 level behind. If we took 3 non-warblade levels, now we effectively "lost" 2 more levels before we gain higher-level maneuvers. That sorta make sense? Also I'm not sure how Keen Intellect adds that much to the build... isn't it just +1 to int checks and like 3 skills? --Ghostwheel 16:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hrmmm

Can't decide if the build should be Factotum 3/Warblade 9/Eternal Blade 8. You give up 2 bonus feats, and in exchange get Cunning Defense and Brains Over Brawn, but you have much fewer inspiration points overall...... >_<
