The Styles
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SaixCloseUp.jpg
Placid Lunatic Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Tiger Claw and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to shift between subtle, eerie calm and violent psychopathic rage in an instant, catching your opponent off-guard.
Prerequisites: One Diamond Mind Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Waning Sanity: When you switch from a Diamond Mind stance into a Tiger Claw stance, you may expend an unexpended Diamond Mind maneuver to fly into a furious rage, taking a -2 penalty to armor class, a +4 bonus to attack rolls, and increasing your critical threat range with melee weapons by 1. This bonus lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Waxing Calm: When you switch from a Tiger Claw stance to a Diamond Mind stance, you focus your rage inward, gaining a +4 dodge bonus to armor class, blindsight out to 60ft, and recovering one expended Diamond Mind maneuver. The bonus armor class and blindsight lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SilentHero.png
Silent Hero Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Stone Dragon disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to more effectively throw your weight around, moving implacably across the battlefield and never allowing your opponents the luxury of a solid position.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Stone Dragon Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unbreakable Earth: When you are in an Iron Heart stance, you may expend one unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to activate the Iron Heart Surge maneuver, even if you do not know it. When you do so, the very ground beneath your feet cracks and shatters (if you are, indeed, on solid ground). The area in a 20 foot radius around you becomes difficult terrain (that you automatically ignore) and anyone (other than yourself) within that area is removed from any stance they were currently in (this effect still applies, even if you are not standing on solid ground).
Crushing Steel: When you succeed in striking an enemy with an Iron Heart strike, you may expend one unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to automatically knock them back up to a certain distance away from you based on their relative size (30 feet for 1 size smaller than you, 20 for same size, 15 for one size larger, 10 for two sizes, and 5 for three or more). In addition, you may move with them without provoking attacks of opportunity, and you ignore all damage reduction during your strike.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ZukoSwords.png
Dancing Flame Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Desert Wind and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to cleave the air with great elegant swathes of flames as you strike.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Desert Wind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Burning Waltz: When you are in a Tiger Claw stance, for every attack roll you make that is augmented by a Desert Wind boost, every enemy within 30 feet of you must make a Reflex save (10 + 1/2 your character level + your highest ability modifier) or take 1d6 points of fire damage per level of the Desert Wind boost used.
Savage Steps: When you are in a Desert Wind stance, at the end of your turn in which you expended at least one Tiger Claw maneuver, you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls for 1 round. If you already have this bonus when you activate it again, the bonus stacks and its duration continues for another round.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/RisingDawn.jpg
Shining Phoenix Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Desert Wind and Devoted Spirit disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to soar over the battlefield, dispensing fiery judgment upon the wicked, and cloaking the righteous in your soothing flames.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Desert Wind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Word of Embers: When you are in a Desert Wind stance, any ally that you heal hit point damage to using a Devoted Spirit strike also gains the Blessing of Embers until the beginning of your next turn. During this time, any creature that succeeds in making a melee attack against them takes 1d6 points of fire damage per level of the strike you used.
Light the Sky: When you are in a Devoted Spirit stance, you may expend an unexpended Desert Wind maneuver to ignite brilliant burning wings upon your back. These wings give you a fly speed equal to double your land speed with perfect maneuverability and last for 1 minute. The brilliance of your wings makes it difficult to pinpoint you, granting you 20% concealment against ranged attack. In addition, during this time, your Desert Wind maneuver with a range greater than melee have their range doubled (this does not effect statistics listed under 'Area', just 'Range').
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SovereignShade.jpg
Sovereign Shade Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and White Raven disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to descend upon your adversaries, leading a murderous flock to quickly and efficiently end their lives.
Prerequisites: One Shadow Hand Stance, One White Raven Stance, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unleash the Slaughter: When you are in a Shadow Hand stance, and succeed in hitting an enemy with a White Raven strike, all allies flanking that enemy immediately gain the benefit of your Shadow Hand stance until the beginning of your next turn (if they are already in a stance, they gain the benefits of both).
From the Shadows: When you switch from a Shadow Hand stance to a White Raven stance, you may expend one unexpended White Raven maneuver. If you do so, then you may jaunt up to three allies within 50 feet through the Plane of Shadows (no material shadows need be involved), teleporting them to anywhere else within 50 feet of you.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AntiDriveForm.jpg
Savage Anathema Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to tap into your darkest instincts and become a creature of exquisite destruction.
Prerequisites: One Shadow Hand Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Form of Darkness: You may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand and unexpended Tiger Claw maneuver as a swift action to take on the Form of Darkness for 5 rounds, or until you no longer have both a Shadow Hand and Tiger Claw maneuver unexpended, whichever comes first. While in the form of darkness, you gain the benefits of the Child of Shadow stance (in addition to whatever other bonuses you gain from your current stance) and may, once per round as a free action, use the Sudden Leap maneuver even if you do not know it and/or do not have it readied. For each successful attack you deal while in the Form of Darkness, you also deal 1 Constitution damage, and for each successful attack made against you while in the Form of Darkness, you also take 1 Constitution damage.
Leaping Death: Whenever you start a jump check from a circumstance that grants you concealment or cover, you deal an additional amount of damage with all attacks until the end of your turn equal to your dexterity modifier.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/GreatAether.png
Dawning Aether Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Devoted Spirit and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to wade into battle with no concern in your heart for your own safety. Your Will alone shall preserve you as you exact harsh vengeance.
Prerequisites: One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Ferocious Light: When you succeed in hitting an opponent with a Devoted Spirit strike that allows you to heal hit point damage, you may expend any number of unexpended Tiger Claw maneuvers to make a number of additional attacks, at your full BAB, that have the same effect as the Devoted Spirit strike used, equal to the number of Tiger Claw maneuver expended. For every additional strike that hits, you take a cumulative -2 penalty to your armor class until the beginning of your next turn.
Burn Short and Bright: When an enemy reduces you to a hit point total that is below 1/2 your maximum, you may activate this ability as an immediate action. When you do so, you instantly unready all readied maneuvers, and ready a new set of maneuvers, all of which become unexpended. After 5 rounds have passed, you fall to 0 hit points and become unconscious for 1 hour. You are clearly alive, but your spirit has been overextended and you may be awakened by no means. When you do finally awake, you are Exhausted.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/HarmoniousSuki.jpg
Harmonious Spirit Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Setting Sun and Stone Dragon disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to disable your opponents with incredible proficiency without doing them great harm.
Prerequisites: One Setting Sun Stance, One Stone Dragon Stance, One Setting Sun Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Don't Get Up: When you succeed in hitting an opponent with a Setting Sun strike, you may choose to have all damage dealt as a result of that strike be non-lethal damage. If you choose to do this, and you expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver at the same time, you bypass all damage reduction with that strike, and any enemy that takes non-lethal damage as a result also take 1 Strength Burn (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicPowersOverview.htm#supernaturalAbilities).
Joint Crunch: While you are in a Setting Sun stance, if an opponent's attempts a melee attack against you, you may, as an immediate action, make an attack roll against their AC at your highest BAB. If you succeed, the target takes 1 Strength Burn (you do not actually attack them, so do not roll damage). If you expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver before making the attack roll, you may make it as a touch attack instead. This effect resolves before the effects of any Setting Sun stance you are in.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AnsemGuardian.jpg
Lucid Shard Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to bring your shadow to life and strike from afar with impunity.
Prerequisites: One Diamond Mind Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Call Guardian: While you are in a Diamond Mind stance, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver as a swift action. When you do, your shadow disappears and a twisted reflection of yourself appears in an adjacent space. It is the same size as you and counts as a creature for the purposes of flanking, but cannot be attacked, may freely occupy the spaces of other creatures, and can slip through any space at least an inch in diameter. If it ever goes beyond 60 feet away from you, it instantly reappears in a space adjacent to you. It remains for 5 rounds.
When this guardian is created, you leave your Diamond Mind stance and may not go into another stance while the guardian exists. Instead, the guardian goes into the same Diamond Mind stance. This is its connection to your consciousness, and if it ever leaves this stance, its duration expires.
The guardian has a land speed and fly (perfect) speed equal to your base land speed, and you may move it up to its speed once per round as a free action. The guardian gets no actions of its own, but you may spend a standard action to have it use a Diamond Mind or Shadow Hand maneuver that you have readied and unexpended, expending it as normal in the process. It uses your statistics for these maneuvers.
Shadow Reversal: As an immediate action, while your guardian granted by this feat is active, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand or Diamond Mind maneuver to instantly switch places with your guardian. If an attack was declared against you while you used this immediate action, the attack is instead targeting your guardian, and vice versa.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AshenSun.jpg
Ashen Sun Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Desert Wind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to intertwine the two opposing forces of night and day, darkness and light, into one potent fighting style.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Desert Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Blackfire: Whenever you deal fire damage with a Desert Wind maneuver, you may instill it with the frigid power of shadows. Instead of fire damage, half the damage is cold damage, and half results from pure supernatural energy that is not subject to energy resistance. Whenever you deal cold damage with a Shadow Hand maneuver, you may instill it with the burning light of the desert sun. Instead of cold damage, half the damage is fire damage, and half results from pure supernatural energy that is not subject to energy resistance.
Solar Cycle: Once per round, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver to activate any Desert Wind maneuver that you know, even if it is already expended or not even readied. Similarly, you may expend an unexpended Desert Wind maneuver to activate any Shadow Hand maneuver that you know, even if it is already expended or not even readied. Activated maneuvers still require the proper actions to use.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ManlySpirit.jpg
Limitless Ardor Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to crash through Reason, while simultaneously flipping it the double deuce and impregnating its girlfriend, as you ride your goddamn iron tiger straight onto Valhalla.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Step of Ten Thousand Miles: As a standard action, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to activate a very specific, focused version of Iron Heart Surge, which disables your inability to jump farther than people tell you you're supposed to be able to jump. In the same action, you also expend an unexpended Tiger Claw maneuver to initiate the jump.
You spend the time until the beginning of your next turn waiting in the upper atmosphere; your hot blooded manliness forming a protective layer from the heat, cold, and vacuum (this also protects your gear and anyone you are carrying). At this time, you come crashing down at any other point on the surface of the planet (or similar physical body, if applicable). This method of movement is imprecise, and you actually land 2d6-2 miles from your intended destination. Where you do land, you create a fiery crater from the impact of your reentry, dealing 10d6 damage to everything (excluding yourself, your gear, and creatures you are carrying) within a 30ft radius (including down), half of which is fire damage and half of which is bludgeoning. The effected area also becomes difficult terrain. After using this ability, your number of Maneuvers Readied is reduced by 1 for 6 hours (cumulative uses continue to reduce this number).
Death Is For the Boring: As an immediate action, when you die, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart or Tiger Claw maneuver. At the beginning of your turn, sometime in the next 5 rounds, you may choose to not be dead anymore. If you are prone, you may stand from prone as a free action, and you are at 1/4 of your maximum hit points. You may choose to remove any Conditions (http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/conditions.htm) or spell effects currently active on you. After using this ability, your number of Maneuvers Readied is reduced by 1 for one week.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/Iajutsu.png
Ephemeral Edge Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to combine your mastery of the blade, and mastery of your own mind, to fully draw your sword and strike a killing blow in-between the measure of moments.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Instantaneous Cut: When you are in a Diamond Mind stance, with your weapon sheathed, and an enemy moves into one of your threatening squares, you may, as an immediate action, draw your weapon and use an Iron Heart strike, though you must include the triggering enemy as a target. Until the beginning of your next turn, you are flat-footed and lose the benefit of your stance (though you are still in it). On your next turn, you lose a move action.
One Heartbeat, Ten-Thousand Blows: When you are in an Iron Heart stance, with your weapon sheathed, and you use a full-attack action, you may expend any number of unexpended Diamond Mind maneuvers. For each maneuver expended in this way, you may make one additional attack at your full Base Attack Bonus.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/VarianJuggernaut.jpg
Implacable Juggernaut Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Stone Dragon and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to shape both mind and body into an impenetrable barrier.
Prerequisites: One Stone Dragon Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unending Tenacity: When you use a Diamond Mind maneuver that allows you to replace a saving throw with a concentration check, and you still manage to fail that too, you may expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to succeed anyway.
Building an Immunity: When you are in a Stone Dragon stance, and succeed on a Fortitude or Will saving throw, you gain a +2 bonus on Fortitude and Will saving throws. When you are in a Diamond Mind stance, and you succeed on a Reflex or Will saving throw, you gain a +2 bonus on Reflex and Will saving throws. In either case, you also gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your initiator level. These bonuses do not stack with themselves (and in the case of the temporary hit points, a higher value overrides a lower value), and last for 5 rounds.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/DarkKnights.jpg
Sanguine Nightfall Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Shadow Hand disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to effortlessly move amongst your enemies, sowing confusion and discord, forcing them to exhaust themselves chasing your shadow, and then finally gifting them a bloody end.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Flickering Shadows: When you switch from an Iron Heart to a Shadow Hand stance, you briefly fade out of the world, slip through a corridor in the Plane of Shadows, and reappear elsewhere, within 30 feet, in the blink of an eye.
Shattered Reflection: While you are in an Iron Heart stance, you may expend one unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver to create a number of Shattered Images equal to the number of Iron Heart maneuvers you have readied (not necessarily unexpended). These images are exact duplicates of you in every way, though they have only 1 hit point (disappearing completely when they lose that 1 hit point) and may not take actions of their own (except as noted below).
A Shattered Image must always be adjacent to either you, or another Shattered Image, and every time you move a distance, each Shattered Image may also move the exact same distance (you may also spend a Move Action to move them all up to their speed, though they must all end adjacent to another Image or you, or else they disappear).
If someone succeeds in striking a Shattered Image, or you, roll randomly to determine if that was really an Image, or really you. You are assumed to be constantly weaving in and out of the fakes as to make it impossible to determine which one is real, even to the extremely observant.
Images may make attacks of opportunity, but they share one pool of available attacks of opportunity per turn equal to the number you normally have (usually 1). If someone provokes an attack of opportunity from you or one of your Images, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to add 1 to your pool of available attacks of opportunity for that round, and give you and all of your Images a +2 attack bonus on all attacks of opportunity until the beginning of your next turn.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/TwilightSojourner.png
Twilight Sojourner Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Devoted Spirit and Shadow Hand disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to walk the fine line between restoration and entropy, selfless mercy and pragmatic cruelty, weaving back and forth across the line as the situation requires, but never fully committing to one side.
Prerequisites: One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Road to Dusk: When you are in a Devoted Spirit stance and use a Shadow Hand strike, you must automatically spend an immediate action to switch to a Shadow Hand stance (this takes effect before the attack roll for the strike). If the strike hits and deals damage, you go into a Shadow Trance for 5 rounds.
While in this trance, you may not use Devoted Spirit maneuvers or stances, may not deal nonlethal damage, all healing is only half as effective on you, and you may not show pity or remorse for those that have done you, or someone you care about, wrong (this does not mean you have to kill them - you just can't punish them to a degree that seems less than adequate to you, whatever that threshold may be). In exchange, you are immune to mind-affecting effects and whenever you make an attack roll, you may roll twice and take the higher result.
Way to Dawn: When you are in a Shadow Hand stance and use a Devoted Spirit strike, you must automatically spend an immediate action to switch to a Devoted Spirit stance (this takes effect before the attack roll for the strike). If the strike hits and deals damage, you go into a Bright Trance for 5 rounds.
While in this trance, you may not use Shadow Hand maneuvers or stances, may not deal lethal damage to entities with an intelligence score, and you must show mercy to the extent that it would be reasonably possible for you to do so (this does not mean attacking trusted allies over executing a hostile foe, or becoming melodramatic and leaving the party over some completely foreseeable act of violence, but you should still probably try to convince everyone that killing and/or violence is unnecessary, and pursue such a path insofar as it is reasonable to do so in your particular situation). In exchange, you become immune to ability damage/drain, energy drain, and fear. In addition, all hit point damage that is healed from you, or that you heal from someone else, is doubled, and you take no penalty for dealing nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ClarionNexus.jpg
Clarion Nexus Style
You have mastered a fusion of the White Raven and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to act as a mental anchor and relay among your allies, organizing them in the chaos of battle.
Prerequisites: One White Raven Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Herald And Savior: When you enter a White Raven stance, you may forge a telepathic bond with any number of willing participants within 100 feet that persists as long as you remain in a White Raven stance, though individuals may sever themselves from the link by going outside the range or spending a free action, and you may sever any individual from the link as a free action. While linked, any member may "speak" mentally into the link, transferring the thoughts to any other member in the link.
In addition, as an immediate action, you may use a Diamond Mind maneuver that allows you to replace a saving throw with a concentration check on behalf of another member in the link. The maneuver uses your concentration check and action, but effects the chosen member instead.
Armory of the Mind: While in a White Raven stance, you may expend any number of unexpended White Raven maneuvers to create a mental armory containing all of these expended maneuvers. While a maneuver is in the armory, you may not recover it. Any member of the telepathic bond granted by Herald and Savior may remove a maneuver from the armory and use it. When someone else uses one of your maneuvers, they use your Initiator level, but their own actions and statistics for everything else.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/1238409747907.png
Clashing Titan Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Setting Sun disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to put on an entertaining show to onlookers, tossing your foes like ragdolls and showing an unbreakable audacity in the face of all odds.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Setting Sun Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Setting Sun Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Resounding Parry: When an enemy makes a successful melee attack roll against you that would otherwise deal damage, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to attempt to brutally parry their attack. Make a melee attack roll at your highest base attack bonus. If it meets or exceeds their attack roll, you have parried them and take no damage. In addition, you may then expend an unexpended Setting Sun maneuver to send them flying away from you. For every 5 points of your attack roll, the enemy flies 5 feet away (round up), taking 1d6 damage per 10 feet. If they collide with a solid object as a result, this damage is doubled.
Indomitable Fighting Spirit: When you take enough damage in a single round to equal 25% of your maximum hit points or more, you may wipe the blood from your mouth and spout a flippant one-liner. This one-liner is key, as it focuses your resolve to overcome all challenges and allows you to instantly recover one Iron Heart or Setting Sun maneuver.
http://i.imgur.com/mSFSK.jpg
Peerless Calamity Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Malfeasant Heart (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189444) and Iron Heart disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to stand defiant against the blades and arrows of the gods themselves.
Prerequisites: One Malfeasant Heart Stance, One Iron Heart Stance, One Malfeasant Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Heaven-Abasing Parry: While you are in an Iron Heart stance and not flat-footed, you may parry foes with the spiritually-scorching fury of the Green Sun. When a foe fails to exceed your armor class, or you make a successful saving throw against a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability that does not utilize an attack roll, you may expend an unexpended Malfeasant Heart maneuver as an immediate action. Green fire explodes around you in a blazing nimbus and, as you bring your weapon to bear, scything solar flares rend your would-be attacker's enchantments to splinters. For every ongoing magical effect on the target, roll a 20-sided die, and add your initiator level. If this roll exceeds the effective caster level of the effect, it ends immediately. If the effect was the result of divine magic or the abilities of an Outsider, also add the level of the expended maneuver to your dispel check.
Butchering the Celestial Host: While you are in a Malfeasant Heart stance, any attack you make that is a part of an Iron Heart maneuver, or enhanced by an Iron Heart maneuver (such as a boost), ignores all damage reduction, energy resistance, and penalties to attack rolls, that are a result of divine magic or the abilities of an Outsider, or are a natural quality of an Outsider. Damage dealt by these attacks bypass the Regeneration quality of Outsiders.
http://i.imgur.com/oDGVO.jpg
Ruinous Horde Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Infernal Monster (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176059) and White Raven disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to lead a ravenous mob of mindless murderers.
Prerequisites: One Infernal Monster Stance, One White Raven Stance, One Infernal Monster Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefit:
Remorseless Monstrosity Instigation: While you are in a White Raven stance, when you go into a Rage as a part of an Infernal Monster maneuver, you may extend your Rage to up to (initiator level) additional individuals within 60ft of you. If they willingly accept, they go into a Rage as well. For the duration of their Rage, these new monsters do not receive the standard +2 bonus on attack rolls against flanked targets. Rather, against targets that they flank, they add their Strength modifier as an additional bonus to their attack and damage rolls. You do not receive this bonus.
Innocent-Mutilating Beast Tactics: While you are in an Infernal Monster stance, when you successfully deal damage to an enemy with a White Raven maneuver, you mark them for death. Until the beginning of your next turn, any ally that deals damage to the marked enemy goes into a Rage that lasts for 5 rounds. While in this Rage, they gain a bonus to their Strength score equal to your Strength modifier (multiple applications of this ability do not stack). You cannot receive this bonus.

The Styles
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SaixCloseUp.jpg
Placid Lunatic Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Tiger Claw and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to shift between subtle, eerie calm and violent psychopathic rage in an instant, catching your opponent off-guard.
Prerequisites: One Diamond Mind Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Waning Sanity: When you switch from a Diamond Mind stance into a Tiger Claw stance, you may expend an unexpended Diamond Mind maneuver to fly into a furious rage, taking a -2 penalty to armor class, a +4 bonus to attack rolls, and increasing your critical threat range with melee weapons by 1. This bonus lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Waxing Calm: When you switch from a Tiger Claw stance to a Diamond Mind stance, you focus your rage inward, gaining a +4 dodge bonus to armor class, blindsight out to 60ft, and recovering one expended Diamond Mind maneuver. The bonus armor class and blindsight lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SilentHero.png
Silent Hero Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Stone Dragon disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to more effectively throw your weight around, moving implacably across the battlefield and never allowing your opponents the luxury of a solid position.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Stone Dragon Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unbreakable Earth: When you are in an Iron Heart stance, you may expend one unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to activate the Iron Heart Surge maneuver, even if you do not know it. When you do so, the very ground beneath your feet cracks and shatters (if you are, indeed, on solid ground). The area in a 20 foot radius around you becomes difficult terrain (that you automatically ignore) and anyone (other than yourself) within that area is removed from any stance they were currently in (this effect still applies, even if you are not standing on solid ground).
Crushing Steel: When you succeed in striking an enemy with an Iron Heart strike, you may expend one unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to automatically knock them back up to a certain distance away from you based on their relative size (30 feet for 1 size smaller than you, 20 for same size, 15 for one size larger, 10 for two sizes, and 5 for three or more). In addition, you may move with them without provoking attacks of opportunity, and you ignore all damage reduction during your strike.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ZukoSwords.png
Dancing Flame Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Desert Wind and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to cleave the air with great elegant swathes of flames as you strike.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Desert Wind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Burning Waltz: When you are in a Tiger Claw stance, for every attack roll you make that is augmented by a Desert Wind boost, every enemy within 30 feet of you must make a Reflex save (10 + 1/2 your character level + your highest ability modifier) or take 1d6 points of fire damage per level of the Desert Wind boost used.
Savage Steps: When you are in a Desert Wind stance, at the end of your turn in which you expended at least one Tiger Claw maneuver, you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls for 1 round. If you already have this bonus when you activate it again, the bonus stacks and its duration continues for another round.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/RisingDawn.jpg
Shining Phoenix Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Desert Wind and Devoted Spirit disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to soar over the battlefield, dispensing fiery judgment upon the wicked, and cloaking the righteous in your soothing flames.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Desert Wind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Word of Embers: When you are in a Desert Wind stance, any ally that you heal hit point damage to using a Devoted Spirit strike also gains the Blessing of Embers until the beginning of your next turn. During this time, any creature that succeeds in making a melee attack against them takes 1d6 points of fire damage per level of the strike you used.
Light the Sky: When you are in a Devoted Spirit stance, you may expend an unexpended Desert Wind maneuver to ignite brilliant burning wings upon your back. These wings give you a fly speed equal to double your land speed with perfect maneuverability and last for 1 minute. The brilliance of your wings makes it difficult to pinpoint you, granting you 20% concealment against ranged attack. In addition, during this time, your Desert Wind maneuver with a range greater than melee have their range doubled (this does not effect statistics listed under 'Area', just 'Range').
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/SovereignShade.jpg
Sovereign Shade Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and White Raven disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to descend upon your adversaries, leading a murderous flock to quickly and efficiently end their lives.
Prerequisites: One Shadow Hand Stance, One White Raven Stance, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unleash the Slaughter: When you are in a Shadow Hand stance, and succeed in hitting an enemy with a White Raven strike, all allies flanking that enemy immediately gain the benefit of your Shadow Hand stance until the beginning of your next turn (if they are already in a stance, they gain the benefits of both).
From the Shadows: When you switch from a Shadow Hand stance to a White Raven stance, you may expend one unexpended White Raven maneuver. If you do so, then you may jaunt up to three allies within 50 feet through the Plane of Shadows (no material shadows need be involved), teleporting them to anywhere else within 50 feet of you.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AntiDriveForm.jpg
Savage Anathema Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to tap into your darkest instincts and become a creature of exquisite destruction.
Prerequisites: One Shadow Hand Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Form of Darkness: You may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand and unexpended Tiger Claw maneuver as a swift action to take on the Form of Darkness for 5 rounds, or until you no longer have both a Shadow Hand and Tiger Claw maneuver unexpended, whichever comes first. While in the form of darkness, you gain the benefits of the Child of Shadow stance (in addition to whatever other bonuses you gain from your current stance) and may, once per round as a free action, use the Sudden Leap maneuver even if you do not know it and/or do not have it readied. For each successful attack you deal while in the Form of Darkness, you also deal 1 Constitution damage, and for each successful attack made against you while in the Form of Darkness, you also take 1 Constitution damage.
Leaping Death: Whenever you start a jump check from a circumstance that grants you concealment or cover, you deal an additional amount of damage with all attacks until the end of your turn equal to your dexterity modifier.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/GreatAether.png
Dawning Aether Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Devoted Spirit and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to wade into battle with no concern in your heart for your own safety. Your Will alone shall preserve you as you exact harsh vengeance.
Prerequisites: One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Ferocious Light: When you succeed in hitting an opponent with a Devoted Spirit strike that allows you to heal hit point damage, you may expend any number of unexpended Tiger Claw maneuvers to make a number of additional attacks, at your full BAB, that have the same effect as the Devoted Spirit strike used, equal to the number of Tiger Claw maneuver expended. For every additional strike that hits, you take a cumulative -2 penalty to your armor class until the beginning of your next turn.
Burn Short and Bright: When an enemy reduces you to a hit point total that is below 1/2 your maximum, you may activate this ability as an immediate action. When you do so, you instantly unready all readied maneuvers, and ready a new set of maneuvers, all of which become unexpended. After 5 rounds have passed, you fall to 0 hit points and become unconscious for 1 hour. You are clearly alive, but your spirit has been overextended and you may be awakened by no means. When you do finally awake, you are Exhausted.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/HarmoniousSuki.jpg
Harmonious Spirit Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Setting Sun and Stone Dragon disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to disable your opponents with incredible proficiency without doing them great harm.
Prerequisites: One Setting Sun Stance, One Stone Dragon Stance, One Setting Sun Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Don't Get Up: When you succeed in hitting an opponent with a Setting Sun strike, you may choose to have all damage dealt as a result of that strike be non-lethal damage. If you choose to do this, and you expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver at the same time, you bypass all damage reduction with that strike, and any enemy that takes non-lethal damage as a result also take 1 Strength Burn (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicPowersOverview.htm#supernaturalAbilities).
Joint Crunch: While you are in a Setting Sun stance, if an opponent's attempts a melee attack against you, you may, as an immediate action, make an attack roll against their AC at your highest BAB. If you succeed, the target takes 1 Strength Burn (you do not actually attack them, so do not roll damage). If you expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver before making the attack roll, you may make it as a touch attack instead. This effect resolves before the effects of any Setting Sun stance you are in.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AnsemGuardian.jpg
Lucid Shard Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to bring your shadow to life and strike from afar with impunity.
Prerequisites: One Diamond Mind Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Call Guardian: While you are in a Diamond Mind stance, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver as a swift action. When you do, your shadow disappears and a twisted reflection of yourself appears in an adjacent space. It is the same size as you and counts as a creature for the purposes of flanking, but cannot be attacked, may freely occupy the spaces of other creatures, and can slip through any space at least an inch in diameter. If it ever goes beyond 60 feet away from you, it instantly reappears in a space adjacent to you. It remains for 5 rounds.
When this guardian is created, you leave your Diamond Mind stance and may not go into another stance while the guardian exists. Instead, the guardian goes into the same Diamond Mind stance. This is its connection to your consciousness, and if it ever leaves this stance, its duration expires.
The guardian has a land speed and fly (perfect) speed equal to your base land speed, and you may move it up to its speed once per round as a free action. The guardian gets no actions of its own, but you may spend a standard action to have it use a Diamond Mind or Shadow Hand maneuver that you have readied and unexpended, expending it as normal in the process. It uses your statistics for these maneuvers.
Shadow Reversal: As an immediate action, while your guardian granted by this feat is active, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand or Diamond Mind maneuver to instantly switch places with your guardian. If an attack was declared against you while you used this immediate action, the attack is instead targeting your guardian, and vice versa.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/AshenSun.jpg
Ashen Sun Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Shadow Hand and Desert Wind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to intertwine the two opposing forces of night and day, darkness and light, into one potent fighting style.
Prerequisites: One Desert Wind Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Desert Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Blackfire: Whenever you deal fire damage with a Desert Wind maneuver, you may instill it with the frigid power of shadows. Instead of fire damage, half the damage is cold damage, and half results from pure supernatural energy that is not subject to energy resistance. Whenever you deal cold damage with a Shadow Hand maneuver, you may instill it with the burning light of the desert sun. Instead of cold damage, half the damage is fire damage, and half results from pure supernatural energy that is not subject to energy resistance.
Solar Cycle: Once per round, you may expend an unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver to activate any Desert Wind maneuver that you know, even if it is already expended or not even readied. Similarly, you may expend an unexpended Desert Wind maneuver to activate any Shadow Hand maneuver that you know, even if it is already expended or not even readied. Activated maneuvers still require the proper actions to use.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ManlySpirit.jpg
Limitless Ardor Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Tiger Claw disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to crash through Reason, while simultaneously flipping it the double deuce and impregnating its girlfriend, as you ride your goddamn iron tiger straight onto Valhalla.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Tiger Claw Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Tiger Claw Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Step of Ten Thousand Miles: As a standard action, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to activate a very specific, focused version of Iron Heart Surge, which disables your inability to jump farther than people tell you you're supposed to be able to jump. In the same action, you also expend an unexpended Tiger Claw maneuver to initiate the jump.
You spend the time until the beginning of your next turn waiting in the upper atmosphere; your hot blooded manliness forming a protective layer from the heat, cold, and vacuum (this also protects your gear and anyone you are carrying). At this time, you come crashing down at any other point on the surface of the planet (or similar physical body, if applicable). This method of movement is imprecise, and you actually land 2d6-2 miles from your intended destination. Where you do land, you create a fiery crater from the impact of your reentry, dealing 10d6 damage to everything (excluding yourself, your gear, and creatures you are carrying) within a 30ft radius (including down), half of which is fire damage and half of which is bludgeoning. The effected area also becomes difficult terrain. After using this ability, your number of Maneuvers Readied is reduced by 1 for 6 hours (cumulative uses continue to reduce this number).
Death Is For the Boring: As an immediate action, when you die, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart or Tiger Claw maneuver. At the beginning of your turn, sometime in the next 5 rounds, you may choose to not be dead anymore. If you are prone, you may stand from prone as a free action, and you are at 1/4 of your maximum hit points. You may choose to remove any Conditions (http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/conditions.htm) or spell effects currently active on you. After using this ability, your number of Maneuvers Readied is reduced by 1 for one week.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/Iajutsu.png
Ephemeral Edge Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to combine your mastery of the blade, and mastery of your own mind, to fully draw your sword and strike a killing blow in-between the measure of moments.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Instantaneous Cut: When you are in a Diamond Mind stance, with your weapon sheathed, and an enemy moves into one of your threatening squares, you may, as an immediate action, draw your weapon and use an Iron Heart strike, though you must include the triggering enemy as a target. Until the beginning of your next turn, you are flat-footed and lose the benefit of your stance (though you are still in it). On your next turn, you lose a move action.
One Heartbeat, Ten-Thousand Blows: When you are in an Iron Heart stance, with your weapon sheathed, and you use a full-attack action, you may expend any number of unexpended Diamond Mind maneuvers. For each maneuver expended in this way, you may make one additional attack at your full Base Attack Bonus.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/VarianJuggernaut.jpg
Implacable Juggernaut Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Stone Dragon and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to shape both mind and body into an impenetrable barrier.
Prerequisites: One Stone Dragon Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One Stone Dragon Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Unending Tenacity: When you use a Diamond Mind maneuver that allows you to replace a saving throw with a concentration check, and you still manage to fail that too, you may expend an unexpended Stone Dragon maneuver to succeed anyway.
Building an Immunity: When you are in a Stone Dragon stance, and succeed on a Fortitude or Will saving throw, you gain a +2 bonus on Fortitude and Will saving throws. When you are in a Diamond Mind stance, and you succeed on a Reflex or Will saving throw, you gain a +2 bonus on Reflex and Will saving throws. In either case, you also gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your initiator level. These bonuses do not stack with themselves (and in the case of the temporary hit points, a higher value overrides a lower value), and last for 5 rounds.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/DarkKnights.jpg
Sanguine Nightfall Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Shadow Hand disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to effortlessly move amongst your enemies, sowing confusion and discord, forcing them to exhaust themselves chasing your shadow, and then finally gifting them a bloody end.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Flickering Shadows: When you switch from an Iron Heart to a Shadow Hand stance, you briefly fade out of the world, slip through a corridor in the Plane of Shadows, and reappear elsewhere, within 30 feet, in the blink of an eye.
Shattered Reflection: While you are in an Iron Heart stance, you may expend one unexpended Shadow Hand maneuver to create a number of Shattered Images equal to the number of Iron Heart maneuvers you have readied (not necessarily unexpended). These images are exact duplicates of you in every way, though they have only 1 hit point (disappearing completely when they lose that 1 hit point) and may not take actions of their own (except as noted below).
A Shattered Image must always be adjacent to either you, or another Shattered Image, and every time you move a distance, each Shattered Image may also move the exact same distance (you may also spend a Move Action to move them all up to their speed, though they must all end adjacent to another Image or you, or else they disappear).
If someone succeeds in striking a Shattered Image, or you, roll randomly to determine if that was really an Image, or really you. You are assumed to be constantly weaving in and out of the fakes as to make it impossible to determine which one is real, even to the extremely observant.
Images may make attacks of opportunity, but they share one pool of available attacks of opportunity per turn equal to the number you normally have (usually 1). If someone provokes an attack of opportunity from you or one of your Images, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to add 1 to your pool of available attacks of opportunity for that round, and give you and all of your Images a +2 attack bonus on all attacks of opportunity until the beginning of your next turn.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/TwilightSojourner.png
Twilight Sojourner Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Devoted Spirit and Shadow Hand disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to walk the fine line between restoration and entropy, selfless mercy and pragmatic cruelty, weaving back and forth across the line as the situation requires, but never fully committing to one side.
Prerequisites: One Devoted Spirit Stance, One Shadow Hand Stance, One Devoted Spirit Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Shadow Hand Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Road to Dusk: When you are in a Devoted Spirit stance and use a Shadow Hand strike, you must automatically spend an immediate action to switch to a Shadow Hand stance (this takes effect before the attack roll for the strike). If the strike hits and deals damage, you go into a Shadow Trance for 5 rounds.
While in this trance, you may not use Devoted Spirit maneuvers or stances, may not deal nonlethal damage, all healing is only half as effective on you, and you may not show pity or remorse for those that have done you, or someone you care about, wrong (this does not mean you have to kill them - you just can't punish them to a degree that seems less than adequate to you, whatever that threshold may be). In exchange, you are immune to mind-affecting effects and whenever you make an attack roll, you may roll twice and take the higher result.
Way to Dawn: When you are in a Shadow Hand stance and use a Devoted Spirit strike, you must automatically spend an immediate action to switch to a Devoted Spirit stance (this takes effect before the attack roll for the strike). If the strike hits and deals damage, you go into a Bright Trance for 5 rounds.
While in this trance, you may not use Shadow Hand maneuvers or stances, may not deal lethal damage to entities with an intelligence score, and you must show mercy to the extent that it would be reasonably possible for you to do so (this does not mean attacking trusted allies over executing a hostile foe, or becoming melodramatic and leaving the party over some completely foreseeable act of violence, but you should still probably try to convince everyone that killing and/or violence is unnecessary, and pursue such a path insofar as it is reasonable to do so in your particular situation). In exchange, you become immune to ability damage/drain, energy drain, and fear. In addition, all hit point damage that is healed from you, or that you heal from someone else, is doubled, and you take no penalty for dealing nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/ClarionNexus.jpg
Clarion Nexus Style
You have mastered a fusion of the White Raven and Diamond Mind disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to act as a mental anchor and relay among your allies, organizing them in the chaos of battle.
Prerequisites: One White Raven Stance, One Diamond Mind Stance, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Diamond Mind Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Herald And Savior: When you enter a White Raven stance, you may forge a telepathic bond with any number of willing participants within 100 feet that persists as long as you remain in a White Raven stance, though individuals may sever themselves from the link by going outside the range or spending a free action, and you may sever any individual from the link as a free action. While linked, any member may "speak" mentally into the link, transferring the thoughts to any other member in the link.
In addition, as an immediate action, you may use a Diamond Mind maneuver that allows you to replace a saving throw with a concentration check on behalf of another member in the link. The maneuver uses your concentration check and action, but effects the chosen member instead.
Armory of the Mind: While in a White Raven stance, you may expend any number of unexpended White Raven maneuvers to create a mental armory containing all of these expended maneuvers. While a maneuver is in the armory, you may not recover it. Any member of the telepathic bond granted by Herald and Savior may remove a maneuver from the armory and use it. When someone else uses one of your maneuvers, they use your Initiator level, but their own actions and statistics for everything else.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad91/bluejanus/1238409747907.png
Clashing Titan Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Iron Heart and Setting Sun disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to put on an entertaining show to onlookers, tossing your foes like ragdolls and showing an unbreakable audacity in the face of all odds.
Prerequisites: One Iron Heart Stance, One Setting Sun Stance, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Setting Sun Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Resounding Parry: When an enemy makes a successful melee attack roll against you that would otherwise deal damage, you may expend an unexpended Iron Heart maneuver to attempt to brutally parry their attack. Make a melee attack roll at your highest base attack bonus. If it meets or exceeds their attack roll, you have parried them and take no damage. In addition, you may then expend an unexpended Setting Sun maneuver to send them flying away from you. For every 5 points of your attack roll, the enemy flies 5 feet away (round up), taking 1d6 damage per 10 feet. If they collide with a solid object as a result, this damage is doubled.
Indomitable Fighting Spirit: When you take enough damage in a single round to equal 25% of your maximum hit points or more, you may wipe the blood from your mouth and spout a flippant one-liner. This one-liner is key, as it focuses your resolve to overcome all challenges and allows you to instantly recover one Iron Heart or Setting Sun maneuver.
http://i.imgur.com/mSFSK.jpg
Peerless Calamity Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Malfeasant Heart (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189444) and Iron Heart disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to stand defiant against the blades and arrows of the gods themselves.
Prerequisites: One Malfeasant Heart Stance, One Iron Heart Stance, One Malfeasant Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One Iron Heart Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefits:
Heaven-Abasing Parry: While you are in an Iron Heart stance and not flat-footed, you may parry foes with the spiritually-scorching fury of the Green Sun. When a foe fails to exceed your armor class, or you make a successful saving throw against a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability that does not utilize an attack roll, you may expend an unexpended Malfeasant Heart maneuver as an immediate action. Green fire explodes around you in a blazing nimbus and, as you bring your weapon to bear, scything solar flares rend your would-be attacker's enchantments to splinters. For every ongoing magical effect on the target, roll a 20-sided die, and add your initiator level. If this roll exceeds the effective caster level of the effect, it ends immediately. If the effect was the result of divine magic or the abilities of an Outsider, also add the level of the expended maneuver to your dispel check.
Butchering the Celestial Host: While you are in a Malfeasant Heart stance, any attack you make that is a part of an Iron Heart maneuver, or enhanced by an Iron Heart maneuver (such as a boost), ignores all damage reduction, energy resistance, and penalties to attack rolls, that are a result of divine magic or the abilities of an Outsider, or are a natural quality of an Outsider. Damage dealt by these attacks bypass the Regeneration quality of Outsiders.
http://i.imgur.com/oDGVO.jpg
Ruinous Horde Style
You have mastered a fusion of the Infernal Monster (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176059) and White Raven disciplines. Together, the two styles allow you to lead a ravenous mob of mindless murderers.
Prerequisites: One Infernal Monster Stance, One White Raven Stance, One Infernal Monster Maneuver of 4th level or higher, One White Raven Maneuver of 4th level or higher.
Benefit:
Remorseless Monstrosity Instigation: While you are in a White Raven stance, when you go into a Rage as a part of an Infernal Monster maneuver, you may extend your Rage to up to (initiator level) additional individuals within 60ft of you. If they willingly accept, they go into a Rage as well. For the duration of their Rage, these new monsters do not receive the standard +2 bonus on attack rolls against flanked targets. Rather, against targets that they flank, they add their Strength modifier as an additional bonus to their attack and damage rolls. You do not receive this bonus.
Innocent-Mutilating Beast Tactics: While you are in an Infernal Monster stance, when you successfully deal damage to an enemy with a White Raven maneuver, you mark them for death. Until the beginning of your next turn, any ally that deals damage to the marked enemy goes into a Rage that lasts for 5 rounds. While in this Rage, they gain a bonus to their Strength score equal to your Strength modifier (multiple applications of this ability do not stack). You cannot receive this bonus.
