Path of War

Maneuvers

Bypassing Damage Reduction

Any maneuver that states its damage bypasses or ignores damage reduction is to be interpreted as ignoring damage reduction up to the your initiator level + your initiator modifier.

Maneuver DCs

The saving throw DC for a maneuver's effects equals 10 + the maneuver's level + your initiation modifier.

Initiator Modifier

When you gain the ability of initiate maneuvers, select either Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as your initiator modifier. Once selected, you cannot change your choice unless you retrain all of your levels.
You may choose to substitute one ability score with your initiation modifier attack rolls and weapon damage rolls made as part of a maneuver or under the effect of a boost (but not stances).

Skills and Maneuvers

For every maneuver and stance known, you gain 5 bonus ranks in that maneuver or stance's discipline skill. You lose those bonus ranks if that maneuver or stance is no longer known.
