The chart says I can have three known and three ready. Note that for the purposes of meeting prerequisites, stances also count as maneuvers.Īlso, at certain levels (starting at level 4 for warblades) you can swap out maneuvers for other maneuvers - when you do this, you can count the maneuver you're swapping out towards meeting a prerequisite for the maneuver you're swapping to. Some maneuvers and stances have prerequisites - usually, having a certain number of maneuvers in the same school. In the description of each maneuver and stance, it says what martial discipline it belongs to just under the name of the maneuver, as well as what classes can learn it in the Level field. Warblades can select maneuvers and stances from the following martial disciplines: Diamond Mind, Iron Heart, Stone Dragon, Tiger Claw, White Raven. So to learn a 3rd level stance or maneuver, your initiator level needs to be (3 × 2) - 1 = 5.Īs a 3rd level warblade, this means you can have four 1st-level maneuvers, one 2nd-level maneuver, and one 1st-level stance.Įach class is restricted in what stances and maneuvers it can choose based on what are called martial disciplines. In order to learn a maneuver, your initiator level needs to be (maneuver level × 2) - 1. In order to select a maneuver of a given maneuver level, you must have a sufficiently high initiator level. If you aren't multiclassed, initiator level is simple. This can get a little confusing, because there's the maneuver level, your initiator level, and your class level which are all related to one another but aren't exactly the same.
There are three basic kinds of requirement:Įach maneuver or stance has a level. You have to meet the requirements for the maneuvers/stances you select, at the time that you select it.
You learn maneuvers and stances according to the progression described in the warblade table and in the warblade section. Most of your questions are answered in Chapter 3 where the general rules for maneuvers and stances are described, or in the warblade section of Chapter 1.Ĭan I activate a stance at any time? Does it cost my action?Īctivating or changing your stance is a swift action.
