If they are not, then you cannot ever ready a maneuver more than once, because once you know the maneuver you know it and that’s the end of it. The book wouldn’t make any sense otherwise.īut the question remains whether or not the lists of maneuvers known are kept separated. After all, they can use Martial Study or prestige class levels to get maneuvers from other disciplines.Īnd they definitely maintain separate lists of readied maneuvers, which affect how each maneuver is recovered and how many maneuvers can be readied at once. In other words, does a Crusader/Warblade have separate Crusader maneuvers and Warblade maneuvers, or just a single list of maneuvers? The book is not entirely clear.Ĭertainly, the Crusader and Warblade classes get access to some different disciplines (Devoted Spirit for Crusader Diamond Mind, Iron Heart, and Tiger Claw for Warblade), but those restrictions are on which maneuvers they can learn as a part of leveling in those classes, not the maneuvers they can know. The question is whether or not a maneuvers that you know are separated by the classes you are in or not. There is no defined way a maneuver can be "ready twice".įor those who place faith in the official FAQ, it agrees with this reading. Maneuvers are either ready for use or they are not - a binary condition. The act of readying maneuvers is more like the one of iterating through your maneuvers known, and deciding which of them have the "ready" flag and which of them don't than the one of loading a gun with spell bullets, as is the case with prepared spellcasters. There is a defined way for a spellcaster to "prepare the same spell more than once", but maneuvers do not inherit that property. Instead, the book consistently refers to a maneuver as either known or not known, readied or not readied (and in the case of the Crusader, granted or not granted). There is no reference to "maneuver slots" or similar terms that are used in Vancian spellcasting.
Similar language is used throughout the book. Only your readied maneuvers are available for immediate use. Therefore, you must choose a selection of readied maneuvers from all the maneuvers you know. Maneuvers require preparation in the form of exercise, prayer, meditation, or simple mental rehearsal. When you initiate a maneuver, you expend it for the current encounter, so each of your readied maneuvers can be used once per encounter You begin an encounter with all your readied maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times you might have already used them since you chose them. Having defeated the mental trap of assuming that maneuvers work something like spells, we can re-examine what the text actually says about maneuvers. The important part is that no equivalent clause exists for martial initiators. can prepare the same spell more than once, but each preparation counts as one spell toward her daily limit. As seen on page 178 of the Player's Handbook: The reason for this confusion is that maneuvers and spells are similar enough in their implementation to make it easy to miss the few ways in which they are different - the ability to prepare a spell more than once being one of them. No, a given martial maneuver can not be readied more than once.
