It is useful by anyone, but martial types will get the most use due to having better BAB. In my opinion, the best part of the book followed by Fighter Fighting Style Feats and stuntsWhen looking at the sample maneuvers in the book or links, Called Shot, Arm is borked.  They, mistakenly, listed Ability Damage and its base modifier. Based upon the penalty to attack roll and the description, the base should be Inflict Penalty (Ability Damage inflicts Ability Damage. Inflict penalty is for penalties to rolls).  This has a big difference on the Net Effect.  The Effect and Net Effect lines should readEffect: Inflict Penalty (-2 to attack rolls) -10   (penalty is -5 to your attack per -1 roll penalty inflicted)Net Effect: Attack Roll Penalty: 0 The net effect is the penalty after the listed drawbacks.  Also the sample maneuver does not tell you that on a critical hit, the penalty you inflict is increased by 1 (it is listed under the description for Inflict Penalty).Lots of cool things that can be done under the system including: ability damage (steep base penalty, but nasty against spellcasters if you target their main stat)disable natural attackdisrupt special attack:  making things like beholder eyes, gaze attacks, breath weapons unusable until healed.  If the creature needs to use a body part (e.g., eyes or mouth) to generate or release the special attack, you can disable it.  I would allow it to be used against say spells requiring verbal components (unless caster has silent spell). knock targets proneKnock them backForce them backdaze themstun themblind or deafen opponentssweeping area attacksChapter 2: The book's version of WarforgedChapter 3: Feats   a.
