I came across the situation of the title, where a character with sword of wounding (Sword of Wounding | Level Up) was fighting a troll amd the player asked what would happen. I quickly said "you don't know, you notice the wound didnt close". I ruled that the regeneration didn't work but the...

I can envision some scenes from LotR where Arwen "speaks" with Aragorn telepathically. He hears her thoughts in her voice, so he knows its unmistakably her speaking and could be rallied by that imo. As for command strike, I think it would follow the same logic: " I know you can't see, but I...

Noted, thanks. I'm also thinking on dark environments or blind allies where being silent would be a thing. But I guess you are right. This is an edge case, and saying yes is not detrimental, so always yes, maybe with a but after...

Not if there are enemies around, and your friend is trapped in a different room. I'm sure one could come up with all kinds of situation where this ,if allowed, could be useful

Not really, if you can sense your comrade is behind a door, you can "speak" words of comfort in his head and rally him for example

Quick and dirty Would you allow the elf gift mystic rapport to fulfill the "...ally must be able to see or hear you..." of the Marshall commanding presence and rallying surge? Cheers

Well, since we have a maneuver that copies the adept feature, I don't see a problem of it costing double, a fighter can even halve the cost with the maneuver specialisation if he really wants it anyway

Not if you lower the cost to 2, maybe even 1 exertion. That's how the monk ability worked back in 3e wanst it? You pay for it at every attack. You'd need yo rewrite the maneuver to something like "after you activate the maneuver, the first attack stuns (on a failed save). Pay again for the next...

No problem at all, just wanted to confirm. In another note, it feels odd that adepts, of all classes, don't have evasion. In my opinion they deserve it a lot more than beserkers. To be honest, both rogues and beserkers should only get evasion through an archetype. Evasion is indeed pretty strong.

Reminds me of my diablo II days... good ol'days

I totally missed the berserk evasion, but I did look for and didn't find the adept evasion. Can you or someone point me to the feature that grants it please?

Well, shield focus is a feat, while evasion is a 6th level feature of a specific class, an one that keeps you from getting other powerful features such as blindsense and uncanny dodge. So it makes sense imo that evasion would be stronger

That makes me think this should all damage the shield as well. It just makes sense. Maybe if the shield negates, I don't know, 20 damage it becomes damaged, 40 and it becomes broken. Or something similar, I was just spitting numbers, those can be adjusted of course.

IMHO the problem is not the cost at all, it is the amount of Stunning attacks you can make. If it were to cost 6 exertion, it is still OP to make 4-5 stunning attacks at a level as low as 5th. For those wondering, those attacks come from extra attack, + 2 attacks with a bonus attack if two...

I quite like this fix. I also think constructs should be immune to stun. Undead maybe as well, but I'm not 100% on those. Another possible fix is put damage minimum to "activate" the save vs stun, like with Knockdown Assault maneuver ( ...when you hit with a melee weapon attack against a...

Thanks for the clarification (or at least a second opinion). I agree the attack is granted by a different feature (commanding presence) and therefore is not modified. I hadn't gotten as far as 3rd degree on my possible future marshal planning, but you are right. Look at me! seems crazy to use...

As the tittle suggest, I was at first trying to get the best maneuver to use, but after a quick read, I don't think any of them really qualify at all when you first get the feature. Let's first see the relevant text to pick the maneuver "In addition, when a creature uses your Commanding...

Thanks, I will check those out

Well, so here I leave for the developers. Xiphumour, can you point me those one or two places?

I may have missed in those, but I'm yet to see some new fighter knacks or rogue tricks or marshal lessons of war and the other equivalent features on the 3pp books or anywhere else. Is this a design space still to be explored? Gimmick some new knacks!
