[QUOTE="ChrisCarlson, post: 6805877, member: 6801216"] You may need to accept that that is not how public forums work. I recently heard a clever (IMO) idiom involving modern life: "People today seek confirmation, not conversation." Your request above is a great example of that. After all, the vast majority of individuals in this thread have disagreed with your root premise. Don't you think that's something you need to consider moving forward? Did you not read the point I made in direct rebuttal to your "etc" post? Have you played a BM? If so, which maneuvers did you [i]actually[/i] select? Because its easy to white-room theorize that some amoebic BM always has the exact perfect maneuver he need for a given moment. Until you actually have to put pen to paper. It's like a game of Schrodinger's Maneuver. That's my point. Will your BM really have all those abilities you just listed? Are you sure? Because you finished you points with, [i]"That doesn't even list all of them. Do I really need to go on?"[/i]. Maneuvers aren't Pokemon. You can't collect 'em all. And I feel I need to reiterate, there are going to be plenty of rounds, in play, where you will strongly desire to use a particular maneuver and will not be able to. Not just because you failed to chose it in the first place. But even for the ones you did take, because a die roll resulted in your not being able to. Or because you couldn't reach the target. Or because of any number of other reasons. It just happens. A lot more than you'd think. I know. I've played a BM. [/QUOTE]
