Battle Maneuvers

Battle Maneuvers

This homebrew rule is intended to give the martial classes a boost in versatility and power, because as of right now, all of them are boring and plain to play with comparing to spellcasters in 5e. Here's a summary on how it works:

• Full-martials (Barbarian, Fighter, Rogue) gain access to Stamina Point and Battle Maneuvers, but they each have their own sets of Battle Maneuvers (much like a spellcasting class'spell list).
• Half-martials (Paladin, Ranger) and Third-martials (College of Swords Bard, Hexblade, War Cleric) also gain access to Stamina Point and Battle Maneuvers, but their abilities are limited compared to full-martials.
• Like the Battle Master subclass, all Stamina Points are regained upon completing a short or long rest.
• Each martial class's progression in maneuvers is different.
• Powerful maneuvers might cost more than one Stamina Point.
• If you have multiple martial classes and learn a maneuver that has different effects for each class. You can choose which effect you will have.

The specifics are listed below, sorted by class/subclass.

Starting Details and Progression (By Class)

If a subclass or class isn't here, refer to a similar class/subclass and use their details and progression.

Barbarian

Maneuver Feature gained at 1st level

Barbarian maneuvers focus on dealing brunt damage to nearby opponents and improving their tankiness even further.

Maneuver Save DC = 8 + Strength modifier + proficiency bonus

Barbarians get two barbarian maneuvers at 1st level. They learn one additional maneuver at 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 17th level.
