Herald proves, in the base rules, that unique access to Exertion for maneuvers using a class's existing resources is balanced, so why not try that here with the bard? Whenever you want you can sacrifice a Bardic Inspiration, roll it, and gain that much exertion. Less consistent than just having a flat pool of exertion, and sometimes it will result in more exertion than the average of other classes, but it also comes at the cost of a resource used to power other features, so I think it would be fine to have that trade-off. Just an idea.That would conflict with the 14th level feature, Choreographer, a bit. Regardless, I think this feature should have you give a Bardic Inspiration to another creature to allow it to use a maneuver for free. I think the current reading could be interpreted that any creature can just take an Inspiration from you.</blockquote>
