[QUOTE="Guiler Luchi, post: 9765826, member: 7054096"] With Commanding Presence, a Marshall can forgo one of his attacks to make an ally use a reaction to attack. But any combat maneuver require an action, bonus action or reaction. So, with Commanding Presence, can you bypass actions limitation? If that is true, can an ally use any maneuver, including stances, and reactions? How does maneuvers with extra attacks works? All the attacks are made as part of the Commanding Presence Reaction? It seems to me that only action maneuvers can be used, and when they should not provide extra attacks. But there are action maneuvers that don't make a character attacks (like doubletime). How this would work? The character would attack and take the maneuver action? Restricting combat directives to only action maneuvers which make an ally attack (and not receiving extra attacks) seems too much limitation (almost no Sanguine Knot meets these requirements). But giving an ally a whole action/bonus action + the attack they are making seems too strong(?). Hope someone could clarify me this rule because I love the marshall class and want to play with one.
