Before we go any further, I have to say this about Master Ghola's boomerang thrower appropriately named "Sir Ownzalot"

There's a reason you're on the CharOP elite4, that build was simply amazing. However, since Im on a roll today and I dont wanna risk competition Im sorry to say this but ... You Implode.

I see alot of two-weapon fighting Stormguard Warriors, multiweapon fighting Stormguard Warriors and Stormguard Warriors with big hammers. I am going to try and trump them all with my Ironstorm Orc. Note to Master Ghola, file this under Tactics.

Name: Waterga Ironstorm
Race: Water Orc
Class levels: Lawful Warblade20
Ability Scores: Str>con>int>dex>wis>cha

Putting Ironstorm together: This Orc is sure to cause quite a few heads to roll. "But Rhonin" they will ask "How can he be the last Stormguard Warrior we will ever need without two-weapon fighting?" Look at the feats, Crushing Strike combined with Avalanche of Blades with Stormguard Warrior@combat rhythm will reduce the cumulative -4 attack penalties by one. I chose Water Orc as my race over the classic Human because of racial bonuses, people may complain about the low int on a Warblade but Waterga takes no advantage of any int-based Warblade abilities. If you can buy off level adjustment you must choose Goliath as the new Waterga, and please change the name as per Goliath naming conventions. Make no attacks of opportunity, use Karmic Strike + Combat Reflexes with Stormguard Warrior@Channel the Storm for bonuses for each AoO you dont make even though your wizard will hate you. On your next turn use Time Stand Still + Raging Mongoose in the Dancing Blade Form and Blood in the Water stances for 6 attacks in the first full attack and 4 on the second. If you are out of melee range before round 2, move upto speed, sudden leap upto speed and use Strike of Perfect Clarity for 100 extra damage on top of Stormguard Warrior.

Combos: Avalanche of Blades + Crushing Strike + Stormguard Warrior@combat Rhythm + Aura of Perfect Order and Stance of Alacrity, you can keep going for a long time. Lightning Recovery and the Lucky enhancement are there when I roll a natural 1. Time Stands Still + Raging Mongoose is when you cash in those assets! Adamantium Hurricane with a full room +Crushing Strike +Stormguard Warrior@Combat Rhythm + Dancing Blade form and Blood in the Water stances = +10 damage for each opponent I touch twice and it'll get easier every time so I'll save the Carmandine Monk/duelist for last. These should be standard tactics for a Stormguard Warrior.

Equipment: Surfhammer (impact lucky wounding marrowcrushing initiative parrying +4 warmace Tide Shield (+5 buckler); +5 mithral great armor; items to increase str, con and int; luck blade in a shield sheath just in case.
As usual, if anybody has questions, comments or constructive criticism feel encouraged to post them here. If the Final Stormguard Warrior truly lives upto his title I might post him outside this thread. Questions: Do the bolded enhancement abilities stack? And are there any other sources of rerolls that I can buy in the form of potions?

Cumulative +1 on attack and damage rolls per hit with bludgeoning weapons, for Waterga it reduces Avalanche of Blade's penalties by 1.

Are there any other comments on the Last Stormguard Warrior you will ever need?

I haven't seen a build that optimizes, synergizes and synthesizes Stormguard Warrior like Waterga Ironstorm yet. Even without two-weapon fighting he's very good, he even has fumble insurance in the form of some Devoted Spirit stuff. If I can somehow fit in Rolibar's Gambit it'll give him the one strike to rule them all ... too bad he only has 14dex

Wolfie-kun asked what happens when the opponent moves away after round 1, simple. Move, sudden leap and Strike of Perfect Clarity. I have to say Sudden Leap can get crazy fast since movement = jump check, a Goliath with the Omniscifier Trick and martial study (sudden leap) can leave the realms as a swift action.

Nope
