Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Third Edition Tome of Battle - The Book of Nine Swords was a testing ground for game mechanics for Fourth Edition. Ultimately, many of the innovations from the book would be evolutionary dead ends, but I love the style of play it presented. The classes are very high fantasy, wuxia style, martial casters that use stances and maneuvers to create supernatural effects. This is my attempt to port the rules into Fifth Edition while maintaining as much fidelity to the flavor of the original as possible.


This document only updates the rules, for a ton of great flavor make sure and check out the book.


Included are three new classes, the crusader, the swordsage and the warblade, with at least two archetypes for each. You’ll also find a large selection of maneuvers and stances for each
class and a small group of monsters that use the rules presented in this document.

A 5e version of the Book of Weeaboo Fightan Magic? If I had the money available, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

One question, though. Is Iron Heart Surge still included?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
