The vocabulary is really screwing me up.First question. This question regards Crusader. It says, "You can ready all five maneuvers you know...." Wait, what? This works like a spell, so does "ready"="prepare" and I can ready one move five times, thusly eliminating Crusader randomness? If not, okay. What about the second word? I CAN ready all five? Does that mean I can choose not to and only ready two maneuvers? Again, doesn't this eliminate Crusader randomness?Second Question. This question regards initiation time. Now, I'm assuming that initiation time means that's the time it takes for me to focus long enough to use this ability. If the initiation time is a full-round action, I spend a full-round action doing nothing and next turn I get to use what I initiated, is that right?Third Question. This question regards conflicting vocabulary. Crusader's Strike says, "As part of initiating this strike, you must..." and Divine Surge says, "As part of this maneuver, you make...." Same page, nearly identical requirements, different vocabulary, it seems to switch off between these two ways of starting a description. What's happening here? Does one suggest you get an attack action during the initiation, OR that the initiation action is a melee attack which deals no damage but the bonus itself, OR that it's just two writers conflicting flavor text, OR something else entirely?If any of these questions can't be answered with quotes and paraphrases, I'll gladly take opinions and houserules. I'm trying to play a Crusader, but I'm not trying to powergame. I want to introduce this book for general use when I DM, but I can't if I can't prove picking a something out of this book is an irrelevant RPing decision, not a competitive advantage. To anyone willing to help, thank you, thank you, thank you!</blockquote>
