ToB Discipline--Ninefold Damnation

[Baron Corm]

I only looked at one maneuver so far, and people's comments. That being said, I agree that "this maneuver causes fear which is scarier than regular fear" is a little silly. If you want to make the 9th level one bypass fear, why not actually send them to Nessus? Or temporarily bring a part of Nessus to the area around the creature? Maybe dealing vile Wisdom damage instead of death. I disagree that stunning on a successful save is too powerful for a 9th level maneuver, because you still have to make the attack roll. Combined with instant death on a failed save, however, it is too powerful. Imagine if you just made a maneuver which was "die on a failed save, stunned on a successful save". The most powerful maneuver possible, right?

I will look at the others later, I do enjoy devils.

Edit: Took a look at Favor of the Dark Eight - Couldn't you just keep entering the stance until you got the result you wanted? Maybe you should just let them choose.
