[QUOTE="mythSSK, post: 4877363, member: 29510"] I've left White Raven for now because it seems to be the most difficult one to fix up. I've taken as much feedback into account as possible, and rather than responding to your revisions point-by-point (which would take me FOREVER) I've just gone ahead and made changes with everyone's advice in mind, so you can see my changes listed below or just open the PDFs and have a bit of a re-read if you like. Most maneuvers have had at least slight rewrites, to make them conform to the standard formats, and all have had the flavor text added/changed. As I noted earlier, Desert Wind has already been updated -- I'll include the change notes from that post in this one as well so they're all together. All PDF links in the original post have been updated to reflect the most recent versions. Can someone please let me know if the new versions of the PDFs are suffering the same viewing issues for some people as the old ones were? Thanks. --- DESERT WIND ----------- * A THOUSAND BIRDS: Fixed copy/paste error in Target line. * DANCING FLAME: Level lowered to 4. * GLARING BLADE: Level raised to 2. Damage increased to 2d6. * HEATSTROKE STRIKE: Whole new maneuver added. * ILLUMINATION OF VIGILANCE: Heavily reworded. * NOVA GUILLOTINE: Damaged lowered to 2d6, Int damage fixed at 4. * PHOENIX FEATHER HEALING: Added caveat based on Crusader's Strike wording. * RAZOR WALK: Heavily reworded. * STRIKING SIDEWINDER STANCE: Added a prerequisite - 1 Desert Wind maneuver. * SUPERNOVA GUILLOTINE: Prerequisite increased to 5.
