Martial Maneuvers
All characters gain the ability to use special maneuvers in combat that can be used to amplify their attack to cause additional effects.
Where these effects mention Ranged or Melee attacks, these specifically require weapon or unarmed attacks. Other maneuvers can be used outside of combat for various effects.
Note: This feature replaces the Battlemaster Fighter archetype, which is not available as a subclass option for the Fighter class.
To determine the number of Superiority Dice and Maneuvers known, you use your Character level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.
*When you roll initiative and have no superiority dice remaining, you have 1 superiority die instead.
**When you roll initiative and have 1 or less superiority dice remaining, you have 2 superiority dice instead.
***When you roll initiative and have 2 or less superiority dice remaining, you have 3 superiority dice instead. Additional Maneuvers and Superiority Dice can be gained from the Martial Adept feat and Superior Technique fighting style. These superiority dice will scale when you reach a higher Martial level. Superiority Dice are regained at the end of a short or long rest. Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects.
