[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 7372208, member: 6932123"] There's nothing wrong with the current rules, and I'm not trying to fix anything. I'm just noting that it could be viable to shift how it works a little. The main problem would be that it drastically increases the number of dice rolls being made if you're trying an extra maneuver every turn. It's probably also unbalanced relative to current power levels, so would need some general tweaking. On the [i]other[/i] hand, there is literally nothing stopping you from using any maneuver as your action, no matter what your class, so the suggestion is somewhat redundant. You just can't blend it in with the attack the way Battlemaster allows. As for the proficiency bonus: The point would be that you're just trying to brute force the effect, when you're not in a position to apply your full skill and power to it. Getting someone into exactly the right spot to pull off one of those tricks to full effect takes effort and luck, and not something you can pull off every single time, which is what's represented in the superiority dice limitation.
