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?

[Theory of Games]

I have thought about Riposte that way, but it works best with S&B builds and they really do not get a lot of damage out, and you still need to hit that attack and it uses your Reaction.

ofc, this free usage can be limited to once per round, so you need to not use it on your turn in hope that someone will miss you so you can take the Reaction.
as it, I missed all attacks on my turn so I didn't have the chance to use a maneuver, so maybe I'll get the chance while they are beating me up.

Yes and? Free attacks = more chances to do damage = better chance to win the combat. Easy-peezy.

I could see most GMs banning Riposte, but it provides the best combat advantage for the party, which is win-win (unless the GM is being adversarial).

At higher levels, sure. 1 extra attack isn't that much compared to 3 with action surge and such.

But at low levels, even without a shield, you're looking at maybe a 50% damage bump. And it doesn't interfere with anything else.

Your a front line fighter. You will me attacks and missed pretty frequently.
