Tome of Battle - Maneuver Prerequisites

[SerKunadan]

I have yet to find the answer to the following question: Can a maneuver and its prerequisite be chosen simultaneously?

For example,
Maneuver A requires 0 maneuvers as its prerequisite,
Maneuver B requires 1 maneuver as its prerequisite.

Can I choose Maneuver A and B simultaneously?

 

[Dandu]

I think they cam be.

Pre-reqs are a poorly implimented idea, though.

 

[SerKunadan]

It would certainly make my life easier.

Is there any compilation of ToB builds out there? It seems like an entirely too huge web of pre-reqs to sort through.

Tome of Batyle for Dummies, you say?

 

[SerKunadan]

That's nice, but it still does not answer my question. Nowhere in "Tome of battle for dummies" could I find a clarification on this.

You aren't picking them simultaneously. You pick one, and then you pick the next one, even if you get both during the same level increase. Once you pick the first one, you'd qualify for the second one.

If it's not explicit, then it's up to GM interpretation.

Were I GMing, I would allow it. You take Feat A first, then you take Feat B. It doesn't matter that it occurred during the same game session or character creation or whatever.

Yes, if there are prerequisites you can qualify for them the same level you grab the qualifying maneuver. Same goes for stances.
