Re: the OOC thread II
If you don't want to interrupt your Duskblade progression (since you are about to get 3rd level spells next level), here's a possible alternative. Whirling Blade is not on the Duskblade's spell list, but it is an arcane spell on the Sorcerer/Wizard list. So, an eternal wand of Whirling Blade will be usable by you since you are an arcane spellcaster.
A bit pricy (a little over 4k), but a regular wand of Bardic Whirling Blade costs 6k, and you need to take a level of Bard to use it, whereas you can use the eternal wand 2x/day without problems as a Duskblade...
