I’ll only go into the Sword Sage class as I’m the only one playing it for now. I don’t think I’ll progress beyond level 2 as SwS anyways.Manoeuvres: I have 7 known manoeuvres of which 4 can be readied at any one time, much like known spells and prepared spells. Some of them are used to counter events (like help a saving throw), some to boost an action (like giving a skill modifier) and some of them are used to attack foes. As such they are broken down into 3 broad groups: Counters, Boosts, Strikes. I have to decide which are the readied manoeuvres I have prepared, much like spells. The difference being that manoeuvres can be used once per encounter instead of once per day. I can choose to prepare a different manoeuvre, but it takes a little bit of time and thus cannot be done during encounters. Stances: My PC knows 2 stances. Unlike manoeuvres, stances do not need to be prepared. They can also function for the entire duration of the encounter as they don’t expire. I can only perform one stance in any given round. I can perform a Counter manoeuvre with a stance as well, but not a Strike or Boost manoeuvre unless it says so explicitly. I’ll go and enter in the full description of my stances, manoeuvres and class abilities on my PC sheet. Probably take me longer than it would take you to move to your new house. Just went through that experience myself. Don’t know how gypsies do it.</blockquote>
