Dreamscarred Press Announces: Path of War Expanded

It's not "swinging a sword well enough allows you teleport, heal and see through walls", it's "I'm trained in a school of martial thought that has taught me a magical technique that allows me to do these while swinging a sword".

That is the exact same thing.

I really want an initiating investigator that trades alchemy for maneuvers and somehow incorporates inspiration and/or studied combat into is maneuver shenanigans.

Agreed! That could be really cool. Which disciplines, though?

Ok, but why is that perfectly fine but "I'm trained in a school of magic that doesn't require gestures or components" so much less acceptable?

This probably needs its own thread though, it's getting offtopic.

Agreed and agreed.
