[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8220675, member: 83242"] I posted this in another thread recently, but there are a lot of things you can do. Not including class specific actions, the general actions available on your turn are below. (Also, Feats give you a lot more combat options. The Martial Adept feat alone can give any character access to two maneuvers.). I hope this helps!
