Stance: Dueling
Dueling Stance
A fighting style made for when it's time to duel. Dueling entails using a single weapon and using skill and well timed strikes to best an opponent.
When you gain this fighting style, you gain 3 maneuvers of your choice from the ones available below. You will gain more maneuvers at every odd character level, up to 17 ( 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th). This is retroactive, in case you gain this fighting style after character level 1. You can exchange one maneuver for another when you level up, provided they are available from the same stance and you qualify for it.
Maneuver Rank Progression follows a rule similar to Caster levels, except the character level is used. 1st Rank maneuvers are available character level 1, 2nd rank at 3, 3rd rank at 5, 4th rank at 7, 5th at 9, 6th at 11, 7th at 13, 8th at 15, and 9th at 17.
