|san3=Maneuvers |sad3=The sword dregling's single level in warblade grant it three known maneuvers, all of which can be readied, and one stance. The sword dregling draws maneuvers from five disciplines, most commonly the [[Coin's Edge (3.5e Martial Discipline)|Coin's Edge]], [[Dancing Goddess (3.5e Martial Discipline)|Dancing Goddess]], [[Iron Heart (3.5e Martial Discipline)|Iron Heart]]<sup>TOB</sup>, [[Tiger Claw (3.5e Martial Discipline)|Tiger Claw]]<sup>TOB</sup>, and [[White Raven (3.5e Martial Discipline)|White Raven]]<sup>TOB</sup>.
A sword dregling typically knows ''[[Divine Wind Flurry (3.5e Maneuver)|divine wind flurry]]'', ''[[Mightstrike (3.5e Maneuver)|mightstrike]]'' or ''leading the attack''<sup>TOB p. 91</sup>, and ''[[Unbalancing Assault (3.5e Maneuver)|unbalancing assault]]''. The stance known is ''[[Shattered Jade (3.5e Maneuver)|shattered jade]]''.
}}
'''Tactics:''' A sword dregling will open battle by moving into charge range, at which point it will initiate ''unbalancing assault''. Once the distance is closed, multiple sword dregling swill attempt to play their allies’ attacks, using ''unbalancing assault'' and ''leading the attack'' to create favorable conditions for its brethren, and then piggybacking off of an ally's maneuvers to take advantage of an opponent. A sword dregling may wait to initiate ''shattered jade'' until a fellow dregling has flat-footed an opponent, flanked, or connected with ''leading the attack'', especially if it does not open combat with ''unbalancing assault''. If the sword dregling does open combat by charging, it may or may not enter ''shattered jade''.
Dreglings are not particularly well-trained and are unlikely to engage in a defeat-in-detail strategy, so play their tactics up or down in accordance with the challenge the players are able to handle.
