[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 9333364, member: 6092"] Arise dead thread! This is coming up in my group and after reading through this, I agree with [USER=5889]@Stalker0[/USER] 's interpretation of the rules. As my player pointed out, Devoted Attack is a bonus action, which gives an effect, not any attacks. The character could pick any maneuver they have for their set of attacks. Then, for me, it's the action chosen, whatever that action may be, that benefits from Devoted Attack on a crit. I see this as limited by only getting to attack one target and only activating on a crit. Even with advantage and if they have a stance that stuns or increases their crit range, that works for me. As I think of it, it's potentially not as good as some think due to the level required and monster they may be fighting. I know that high level (CR) dragons and demons get a reaction on a hit, which could be movement of some type. If they do that, this shuts down the maneuver unless the character has enough movement to get to where their target ended their movement. Further, they can't do anything to any other enemy. If another monster comes up to them, no reactions to it. They are shut down except for that one enemy for this entire round. Thanks for the discussion! [/QUOTE]
