[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8429164, member: 6915329"] No, I'm not proposing that. I just left out the reaction part when I wrote that part. OK, I think I know what the disconnect is. The bit where it says [I]"3rd-level Razor's Edge maneuver, reaction[/I]"? According to earlier threads--and this will presumably be part of the actual rules--the word "reaction" is just there to tell you what it needs. It doesn't mean you have to spend two reactions to use this maneuver. It's like when a spell says it has a casting time of one action and the text reads "you use your action to [I]blah.[/I]" So my reading of this is "you spend 2 points (and for some reason you have to have at least 1 point left in your pool) and you use your reaction to make an attack." I don't know [I]why [/I]you need to have at least one exertion left over--it wasn't like that in the playtest, and I wonder if all the other "spend points and use reaction to make weapon attack" maneuvers have also been changed--but there you have it. Honestly, I'm not getting why you think that this could be used if you have no exertion, when it clearly says you can only make the attack if your pool [I]isn't [/I]empty. [/QUOTE]
