One of my players is rebuilding himself to level 14 and I want advice on how to keep him feeling roguey while granting him assassin's stance, shadow jaunt, and perhaps other swordsage maneuvers. Since he's adamant on being a gray elf focused on melee since he uses a greatsword, I want to capitalize on that. He's keeping the winged template, but he has 14 character levels to use. (He doesn't want ruby knight vindicator and is sticking with this decision.) He may drop a level to grab the shadow-walker template. All sources are available pending my approval, though I lack reliable "Dragon" and "Dungeon" access. Note that he is the group's only rogue in a 'balanced' but caster-heavy party.

There is no experience penalty for multiclassing and I use fractional BAB. Also, all skills have a rank max of 3+HD. Shadow jaunt qualifies for shadowlord.

This campaign is rife with constructs and undead, though characters have access to abilities that allow them to critical such creatures.

Build 1: Gray Elf Shadow-walker Rogue3/Swordsage5/Telflammar Shadowlord5

As I'm new to Tome of Battle, what maneuvers and stances besides shadow jaunt and assassin's stance advise you?
