It doesn't take a game design genius to not include that a second time. Hence, the 5e PHB doesn't include one. And neither does this survey. Too logic-breaking and headache-inducing to imagine how anyone can make an unconscious ally stand up from across the room. That is lazy game design, disassociated mechanics which 5e largely nixed, and pervasive throughout 4th edition.The battlemaster works and isn't lazy design at all. Every single maneuver can't be spammed, requires your character to be within a ballpark range of size difference to even attempt to pull off, then requires checks to actually function. No more halflings sliding around dragons any more, thank the heavens.</blockquote>
