    Default ToB question

    Hail wise gurus of gaming. I have a question for you all. Can a martial adept prepare 2 or 3 times (or more) the same maneuvers? I just reread the rules, and while I may have overlooked something, I'm inclined to think so, but I,m not sure.

    To curate my brilliance and wit, of course. Any other use is a waste.

    Nope, they're not like spells. Either you're ready to use a maneuver or you aren't; you can't be triple-ready.

    That is, each maneuver can only be readied once. This is the case even if you have two or three Martial Adept classes; a Crusader 1/Warblade 1/Swordsage 1 could only ready, say, Stone Bones once--she could ready it for any of the classes (since they all have Stone Dragon access), but once that's done she couldn't ready it for another one.

    ^ what she said. Imagine from the balance angle if you were to make your whole attack routine for every round the same pair of boost/9th level strike. Not only would it be too much awesome, but it'd get dull fast.

    Of course, in all situations the answer is Be A Badass.

    This question is in the ask wizards section somewhere AFAIR. The answer was no, can't be done.

    To reiterate what everyone else is saying, no. You can only have each maneuver readied once.

    To add on though, in hopes of getting to the root of your question:

    I'm guessing you ask this because you want to use the same maneuver twice in one encounter. The best way to do this is the Swift Recovery feat from ToB, lets you recover a single maneuver as a Swift Action, which means in many cases you can use the same maneuver in consecutive rounds. Another trick is (for swordsages or non-martial adepts with Martial Study) to take the Adaptive Style feat. By taking a full-round action to meditate, you can change all of your readied maneuvers; this means that you can simply choose to ready the same ones and you can use them again starting the next round.
