Unlike Battlemaster maneuvers, some ASIs/feats synergize with each other and with later class abilities, so it actually is possible to have a later ASI which is "better" in some ways than earlier ones. Obvious example: at 4th level, your proficiency bonus is only +2, and Warcaster can reduce your chances of failing a concentration check by, say, 65% if your Con is 14, whereas Resilient (Con) would reduce it by 29%. But if you already have Warcaster and your proficiency bonus is +6, then Resilient (Con) can reduce your chances of failing by 99.3%. The later ASI is better than the earlier one, and you didn't have the option of gaining that benefit earlier.It would be nice if Battlemaster maneuvers synergized the same way, and that is why I don't mind the OP's suggestion of letting 7th+ level battlemasters spend two maneuvers on the same attack. I don't think any unusual synergies will be discovered but I might be pleasantly surprised. Maybe someone will do a Menacing Riposte that turns out to be awesome in practice.</blockquote>
