So, I have been trying to get around to doing this for a while. I finally looked at the battlemaster, and a surprisingly large number of the maneuvers work for this idea, though some would not fit such as Commanders strike or Rally. Other abilities aside, I will need to work out Ki costs for the various maneuvers. 1 Ki per maneuver works out at first, but the Monk is quickly throwing around 6-8 maneuvers per rest. Would this be balanced by the fact that his maneuvers will be using his Martial arts die? I am not good at the math part of the game, especially the theoretical math, but altogether, these two look like they will blend well. Any help is appreciated.
Way of the Shifting Scales
Level 3
When you choose this Way at 3rd level you can choose 3 maneuvers from the Battlemaster fighter table (will edit this with the restrictions eventually)
You Superiority die for these maneuvers is your Martial Arts Die. Each maneuver costs 1 Ki.
Your Save DC for these maneuvers is equal to 8+proficiency bonus + Dex or Wis (Players choice)
Level 6
Level 11
Level 17
My goal is for this to be a more Body focused monk at early levels, then Mind at the late abilities. Any thoughts on more possible additions?
