Level Up (A5E) Reading through one A5E class (and headdesking all the while)

[Corinnguard]

A lot of the rest of the grumbles about maneuvers indicates a lack of understanding of the system. It is a more complicated system and has its downsides, but it does provide martial types more flexibility in what they can do in combat, and works well in play from what I've seen with A5E over the last few years, including for Adepts.

Plus, the maneuvers in the ever-growing list of A5e Combat Traditions are meant to address the gap between the martial characters and the spellcasters. They're the martial equivalent of spells.

Playing an A5e martial is actually fun. QED.

In any event, the Adept is probably the weakest design-wise of the A5e core classes, which is fine because the others absolutely rock.
