• Battle Ardor (Ex) Add Intelligence modifier as insight bonus to confirm critical hits.
• Blood Wind Ricochet (Ex) As a full-round action, you can hurl a weapon at a foe and compel it to ricochet to other enemies before hurtling back to your waiting hand. The weapon you throw behaves as though it has the returning special ability (DMG 225), except that you determine the point during your turn when the weapon returns to you.
  When using this ability, you make a full attack with a thrown weapon, but each ranged attack must be resolved against a separate target. You can choose the order in which you attack your foes. Range and cover penalties are resolved for each attack after the first as though that attack originated from the space of the creature you last attacked. If a creature has total cover relative to you, you cannot attack it.
  When you use blood wind ricochet, you lose the use of one Iron Heart strike you have readied for the current encounter, just as if you had initiated the strike (except you do not also gain the strike's normal effect). Once you use this ability, you can recover the maneuver you expended and use it normally.

  Eye of the Storm (Ex) While you are in an Iron Heart stance, you can forgo its normal benefit as a swift action to gain the effect of eye of the storm. This ability lasts as long as you would maintain the Iron Heart stance, or as described below. You can also stop using eye of the storm and resume gaining the normal benefit of the stance as a swift action. When you use this ability, you gain a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against ranged attacks and a +2 competence bonus on Reflex saves. In addition, when a foe makes an attack of opportunity against you when you make a ranged attack while threatened, you can make a single melee attack against that foe as a swift action (assuming you're not unarmed and you threaten the foe). Such an attack does not count as an attack of opportunity. To retain this defensive posture, you can move no more than 10 feet on your turn.

  Lightning Ricochet (Ex) Any time you make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon on your turn, the weapon immediately returns to you, and you can catch it as a free action. This ability allows you to make a full attack entirely with thrown weapon attacks, or with a mix of thrown and melee attacks.

  Martial Throw (Ex) You can initiate a strike from the Iron Heart discipline with a thrown weapon. The strike must be one that has a target of one creature. A strike that targets multiple creatures or objects cannot be used with martial throw.

  Point Blank Shot (Ex) You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

  Precise Shot (Ex) You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard -4 penalty on your attack roll.

  Returning Attacks (Ex) You can hurl your weapon at a foe and command it to ricochet back to you. Any weapon you throw behaves as though it has the returning special ability (DMG 225). When you use returning attacks, you lose the use of one Iron Heart strike you have readied for the current encounter, just as if you had initiated the strike (except you do not also gain the strike's normal effect). Once you use this ability, you can recover the maneuver you expended and use it normally.

  Stand Still (Ex) When a foe's movement out of a square you threaten grants you an attack of opportunity, you can give up that attack and instead attempt to stop your foe in his tracks. Make your attack of opportunity normally. If you hit your foe, he must succeed on a Reflex save against a DC of 10 + your damage roll (the opponent does not actually take damage), or immediately halt as if he had used up his move actions for the round. Since you use the Stand Still feat in place of your attack of opportunity, you can do so only a number of times per round equal to the number of times per round you could make an attack of opportunity (normally just one).

  Thunderous Throw (Ex) As a swift action, you can choose to treat your ranged attack rolls with thrown weapons as melee attacks for the rest of your turn. You use your melee attack bonus, including Strength bonus, feats, and so forth, to determine your attack bonus for each attack as normal, but you apply the standard modifiers for range penalties. Attacking into melee, through cover, and so forth incurs the standard penalties. In addition, you can apply 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus to damage if you wield the thrown weapon with two hands, and you can use Power Attack with your thrown weapon attacks (adding two times the number subtracted from attack rolls as a bonus on damage rolls when throwing a two-handed weapon).

• Battle Clarity (Ex) As long as you are not flat-footed, add Intelligence modifier to Reflex saves (max bonus equal Warblade level).
• Second Wind (Ex) □ Once per encounter, as a standard action that does not provoke, the character activates a healing surge and gains a +2 bonus to his Armor Class until his next turn.
• Uncanny Dodge (Ex) Retain Dex bonus to AC if caught flat-footed or struck by invisible attack.
• Weapon Aptitude (Ex) Treated as Fighter level (Warblade plus Bloodstorm Blade -2) for feat qualification. Spend 1 hour each morning in weapon practice and designate single weapon feats (such as Weapon Focus) to apply to any weapon you choose.

Ready Maneuvers (Ex) You may have 44 level 5 Warblade maneuvers ready at one time. It takes 5 minutes of practice to ready or change readied maneuvers.

Recovering Maneuvers (Ex) A warblade can recover all of his expended maneuvers as a swift action, followed by making a melee attack or using a standard action to do nothing else in the round. If he initiates a maneuver or changes his stance during a round, he can't recover his expended maneuvers. Also, after an encounter, a warblade you can spend a full minute without being attacked recovers all maneuvers.
