Then at level 15 they get additional uses equal to Second Wind + Action Surge, which is 5 at level 15 and then 6 at level 17. So except for level 3, the Gladiator will be equal to or ahead of Battlemaster in uses. Here is the chart:<img src="https://i.ibb.co/mCtkPsvC/image.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="258x430" style="" />As for choices, given it's a weapon master IN ADDITION TO existing weapon mastery, AND an extra benefit on top of that, I'd say they're all equal to or superior to Battle Master maneuvers. I'd say at least half the BM options rarely if ever see use at a table. We all know the good ones, and they're about where these Brutality ones are at. Battlemaster also gets essentially crap abilities beyond level 3, until they get to level 15. Meanwhile the Gladiator level 7 ability is killer, and the level 10 abilities are all powerful. Level 15 mentioned above, and level 18 is potentially good but a bit weird the way it's done right now. I'd say Gladiator is at least equal to Battlemaster</blockquote>
