Hi, I've been working on an overhaul for the past week to incorporate Maneuvers as a basic part of every non-full caster class. I feel like something was lost in transition by putting them strictly behind the Battle Master Fighter archetype and wanted to bring that to the forefront. I have also done a lot of 'quality of life' changes for non-caster classes, especially where they have class features that are strictly inferior to existing spells despite that being their class 'niche'.
Note that this is not in any way balanced or extensively playtested beyond a few private games.

Maneuvers
I have added some new Maneuvers, changed existing ones a bit, lots of stuff really. If they seem inherently broken that might be the point. I’m trying to scale them so they start off as ‘useful’ at low levels and become better over time, to the point of at least trying to keep up with our Wizard overlords. Something that matches the ‘mythic heroes who save the multiverse’ feel of 16-20th level at the very least, which is when most of them kick in and become ridiculous.
