[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8964072, member: 7025431"] Breakdown GWM, SS, PAM, Sentinel, Shield Master, CBE, Slasher, Crusher, Piercer, etc into smaller parts and make them free maneuvers similar to what cantrips are for casters. There would probably a one maneuver per attack rule with exceptions for things like Crusher, Piercer, and Slasher. Fighters start with the most and get the most over time.
