Time for another!

Winter's Coming
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Stance)
Level: 6
Prerequisites: Two Sandbox Goliath Maneuvers
Casting Time: 1 Swift Action
Range: Personal
Target: Yourself
Duration: Stance

Spring, Summer, and Fall are just feeble attempts at stopping the inevitable. Winter is coming, and death is in season.

Description
While in this stance you watch your enemies movements with an icy vigilance, allowing you to weave death across a battlefield.

During your move action, if you would provoke an attack of opportunity, you may take an attack of opportunity of your own against the attacker. If you hit, he must make a concentration check equal to the damage you just dealt. If the attacker fails to make this check, their attack is treated as missing for all purposes.

[Elricaltovilla]

Elric - did you give permission?

I have not. I'm not sure I'm up for getting maneuvered today. Figured I'd put in some work making maneuvers though, since I find that very fun.

[stack]

Nice. I've always been partial to the Setting Sun throws.

Just a few questions about minor details. I'm not sure if it's actual awkward wording or if I'm just ignorant about certain aspects of PoW.

1. It seems a little odd to use martial adept level in place of initiator level. Is that a common convention in PoW, or am I misunderstanding the meaning, or what?
2. Does PoW standardize the stat modifier that applies to saves so that it's not necessary to specify that the Ref save is 13+Str or whatever? ToB sort of varies from discipline to discipline.
3. More generally (applying to all these maneuvers, in a way). Does PoW do away with maneuver known prereqs?

1. I like details like that to not penalize the lower BAB classes given the way CMD scales.
2. All saves are based on your initiation modifier. I should call out the base save though, which would be 13+initiation modifier.
3. Nope, there are maneuvers known requisites, just forgot to put them in. 3rd level maneuvers require 1 maneuvers of the same discipline.

I was working on a stance for you, then couldn't find the permission when I wanted to write it out. I guess it can wait.

I have no idea how anything would be done, but permission is thoroughly granted if anyone has thoughts. >>

Sure, throw me into the pot.

Battle Without Resolution

Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Stance)
Level: 6
Prerequisite(s): Two Sandbox Goliath maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Stance
Saving Throw: Fortitude or Will (see text)

DESCRIPTION

The Sandbox Goliath discipline draws its inspiration from many techniques, and many students have left their mark on the school. One such student taught that the true essence of combat was "battle without resolution, law without harmony, order without structure, misery without hope, death without glory, unity without individuality." His trademark stance could best be described as grim apathy, the uncaring and eternal march of a soldier towards the inevitable death of both himself and his enemies.

While in this stance, the martial disciple draws on the eternal futility of war. Any enemy struck by his weapon must make a Fortitude save or become Fatigued for one round, as battle slowly wears him down. Any Fatigued enemy struck by his weapon must make a Fortitude save or become Exhausted for one round, as battle wears him down further. Any Exhausted enemy struck by his weapon must make a Will save or become Paralyzed for one round, as his soul is crushed by futility. Even if an enemy makes his save, repeated strikes preserve any prior condition imposed by Battle Without Resolution for an additional round (so a Fatigued enemy who makes his save versus Exhaustion remains Fatigued). In any round that an enemy under the effect of Battle Without Resolution is not struck by the character, his condition reverts by one step, (so a Paralyzed enemy becomes Exhausted, an Exhausted enemy becomes Fatigued, and a Fatigued enemy recovers) provided that he is not under a similar effect from another source.

I based this on Lord Gareth's glorious description of Acheron. The quote is lifted directly from that post.

Eclipse the Night
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Counter)
Level: 4
Initiating Action: 1 immediate action
Range: personal
Target: you
Duration: instantaneous
Saving Throw: None

Many fear the night, for it is dark and full of terrors, but the disciple of Sandbox Goliath has learned to optimize the darkness and use it against his foes. When you initiate this counter, you immediately gain total concealment against the next attack made against you. If that attack misses, you can teleport up to 100 ft. in any direction. You may also make a counterattack against the creature that attacked you and missed, and you may choose to make this counterattack before or after you teleport.

Did you see the Veil I made for you too?

Yeah, I did. Now I might have something to use as protection against Snow. I mean, I'm pretty much indestructible, but having to regrow major body sections every 5 minutes is annoying .

[sakuuya]

I am in this exact same position as Taveena, which is why I've never responded to one of these threads before. Permission granted, though, because maneuvers are cool.

[LoyalPaladin]

It has begun!

The High Bladelord's Glorious Bane of a Thousand Armies

Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Strike); Level: 9
Prerequisite(s): 4 Sandbox Goliath maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 full-round action
Range: medium
Target: All enemies within medium range
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Will partial

DESCRIPTION

A maneuver known only to the mightiest warriors and most sagacious sword-saints, you hardly seem to move as all those that oppose you fall to the ground. Time stands still as only your strongest opponents live to desperately flee. As a full round action, you may make a melee attack against every enemy creature within medium range, dealing normal damage +2d6. Every enemy struck must make a will save DC 19+initiation modifier for be panicked for a number of rounds equal to your initiation modifier. Of a successful save they are instead frightened for one round.

(The lead dev needs to be able to walk through entire battlefields, mowing down the enemies like chaff. Not great against a few strong enemies, but the visual is great.)

Stance of the Mind Breaker
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Stance)
Level: 8
Initiating Action: 1 swift action
Range: personal
Target: you
Duration: Stance
Saving Throw: Will Half(see text)

The incredible collective genius of the playground fills your mind, allowing you to view the presence of lesser minds and attack their weaker wills to draw them to your side. While in this stance, you gain Mindsight out to a range of 60 ft. and once per round when you would make an attack, the target must succeed on a Will Save or be put under the effects of a charm person spell (Save DC 18+ Initiation Modifier) for one round.

Deadly Analysis
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Counter)
Level: 5
Initiation Action: 1 immediate action
Range: Personal or close
Target: You
Duration: Instant

Twist and inch here and the shot flies past your and ricochets back to your assailant. You did the math.

When targeted by an enemy attack from within close range, you may make a knowledge martial check. Use the result of the check as your AC vs the attack if higher than your AC. If the attack misses, you sidestep the attack and your attacker becomes the target of the attack, using your knowledge (martial) roll in place of the original attack roll.

Both of these are freaking awesome, thanks!

[Snowbluff]

Ah, okay. Last time I was here regularly (back in January) I don't think I saw any of these threads around, I guess this is just my first time running into them. Carry on, I guess. Not that you need my approval, really

There was like a 2 year hiatus between the original deities thread and

Stacking Assault Stance


While in this stance, the martial disciple gains the benefit of the Ratfolk Swarming racial trait. He may occupy the same space as any one character with that trait as if he had it. Alternatively, up to three characters using this stance may occupy the same space.

Mecha-Shiva! Mech-Shiva!

Missed most of the other threads, but this time I really want to be maneuver-ized so yeah, so permission granted.

Oooh... you're a good candidate. I'll have to come up with something, but I don't want to rehash the weapon I made.

Time for another!

Oh man, I know a guy in my PF group who uses snake style or whatever to hit like 3 times by walking past a person. I want to try now. >:D

The concentration check might need an addendum to work with PF. Maybe addd a sidebar for PF use, like "they make a check with their Con+BaB if they do not have a caster level"?

Alright. I'm game. Hit me.

Bladelord's Attitude

Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Stance); Level: 3
Prerequisite(s): 1 Sandbox Goliath maneuver
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Stance

Some warriors have learned that the path to greatness simply lies in the realization that they are not limited by the rules others follow. Once per round, when recovering maneuvers, you may increase the number of maneuvers recovered by one. Any limitation on which maneuvers can be recovered apply.

[Andion Isurand]

I give my permission to have a maneuver modeled after this online persona.

The Harder They Fall

Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Boost)
Level: 5
Prerequisite(s): 2 Sandbox Goliath maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target:You
Duration: Instant

The disciples of the Sandbox Goliath recognize that a creature's true size is not always proportional to how tall they actually are, and so they hold no fear for enemies that are larger than they. When you initiate this boost, your attacks for the round deal an additional 1d6 points of damage per size difference between you and the target creature. In addition, any combat maneuver checks you make this round ignore the enemy's size bonus to CMD.

I brought you into this thread, so I better do something! I hope you don't mind a bone themed maneuver to match your Bone Knight avatar:

Endoskeleton of War
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Counter)
Level: 7
Prerequisites: Two Sandbox Goliath Maneuvers
Casting Time: 1 Immediate Action
Range: Personal
Target: Yourself
Duration: Rounds equal to half your constitution score.

Braggarts claim that their body is a weapon. They have no idea what sort of weapon you have in store for them.

Description
A mob of enemies gathers around you. They strike, only to be cut on something sharp as a blade. But it is not a blade, it was your very bones.

When attacked, you can force your skeleton to extend into jagged spikes all over your body. Any enemy who makes a melee attack against you while you are using this counter deals damage normally, then takes half the damage they dealt as piercing damage.

[Extra Anchovies]

42 Fists of Iz
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Strike)
Level: 7
Initiating Action: 1 full round action
Range: Melee attack
Target: One creature in range
Duration: Special (see text)
Saving throw: Fortitude Partial (See Text)

The disciple of the sandbox goliath unleashes a rapid flurry of punches that leave foes staggered. Make a full attack against a single target. For each attack that hits, the target must succeed on a Fortitude Save or be staggered for one round. Each failed fortitude save after the first increases the duration of this stagger effect by one round.

Awesome name. All I can think of is this.

[Threadnaught]

Permission granted proper. Thank you for keeping a place for me wise Snowbluff.

[Blackhawk748]

The god of Fighters gives his permission

Ive always been partial to Iron Heart or Stone Dragon, so attacking a lot or hitting REALLY hard

[Amphetryon]

Permission granted to make me into a Maneuver.

[eggynack]

I, eggynack, shall henceforth grant permission. Man, I gotsta wonder, is like ultra permanent permission a thing? Cause I don't really see a particular reason why I wouldn't be fine with my existence being turned into a majig. I mean, I guess if there were something like "GitP regulars as D&D paraphernalia, that will be sold to support some arbitrary thingamajog that eggynack has some particular scruples with" I'd have some qualms with just being signed up for that without specifically giving permission, but I'd figure anything produced would have to extend beyond an individual post for there to be an issue.
