Dreamscarred Press - Path of War Expanded! (Thread VII)

[Tome]

Something to keep in mind is that there's nothing stopping non-initiators from joining a martial tradition - the only benefit that initiators uniquely get from it is the ability to trade out a discipline, any other class can get the other benefits.

Forcing the entire party to join one of our initiator-focused clubs to maintain parity is kind of disruptive too.

Not to mention any initiators whose concept calls for them to not be part of a tradition.

Better to keep the tradition benefits minor and flavourful so no one feels left out by not taking one. That or make them cost a trait or feat or something.
