D&D (2024) What battlemaster maneuver would you allow to be used at-will, if any, but without adding die roll to the effect of it?

[Horwath]

simple,
as a variant to weapon masteries, and it can even be changed to use mastery slots to learn battlemaster maneuvers.

here is my list for at-will maneuvers without adding die results:

Bait and Switch.
Commander's strike
Disarming attack
Distracting strike
Evasive footwork
Feinting attack, no move penalty but limited version of Rogue's Aim action
Goading attack
Parry
Pushing attack
Rally, I am doubtful about this one, but temp HP is more prevalent in 2024 and amount without the die roll is really low.
Riposte
Trip attack


older material:
Brace
Quick toss, thrown weapon attack suck mostly.

Would this make the Battlemaster (BM) less cool if some of his powers were taken away or rather, made available to others? I know that my table has never taken BM, but only the Champion and maybe this would make them cooler to have more options.

maybe,
but BW would still remained the only one with Dice to add to effect and more options to take more maneuvers.
other classes with masteries would just dip the in the power pool of BM.

and BM still would have option to use all maneuvers at will if they are on the list.

Commander's strike seems fair... sac an attack to open up a reaction attack for an ally

If your ally (barbarian) has a source of advantage running , it could add a little bit of timing twist to things

If i had to pick just one, Commander's Strike.
So I can play a warlord.

I wouldn't allow Riposte.

... aaaand Riposte FTW! I mean if your opponent misses you, you get an AoE?

Haha, this was my thought as well ..
