08-27-06, 05:58 AM After having a wonderful time with this book I have decided to roll up a Warblade for the DMs 5th level Mysteries of the Moonsea campaign. However, magic in the Forgotten Realms must be Arcane or Divine and always needs the goddess of magics 'weave' to funtion (unless psionic then the user is said to have his or her own 'weave') so where does the 'magic' of the Martial Adept classes fall? :confused:

08-27-06, 07:53 AM swinging a sword with power attack isn't arcane or divine, neither are the martial manuvers. even though they might look something like spells in that they have 9 levels, they are not spells and are not magic. they are extrodinary abilities, no different than a claw or bite attack. they don't require mystra, they work in antimagic, they are not affected by wildmagic, they can't be counterspelled and they are not subject to spell resistance unless noted.

it might look a little like magic but its not magic.

A select few are supernatural abilities, such as (Desert Wind's) Hatchling's Flame. But over most are extraordinary abilities.

The "Magic" of a Warblade's manuevers are the same as the "Magic" that you or I can perform with cards.
It is "Magical" in the sense that it seems to defy logic, we can not do it so there for it can't be done, therefore it must be magic.

But in reality it is simply hard work and lots of skill/luck that allows it to happen.

In D&D The Book of Nine Swords' manuevers are no more or less magical than a Figter's feats.

Cheers.
