Martial Mastery

D20 Martial Mastery

Enhanced Action Surge is tied to, but does not require Kinetic Aptitude.
CP: (if used)
Story: Like all features, GM fiat/story can also grant some or all measures.

  • Basic/Proficient [ Kinetic Aptitude 1] If the character has no maneuvers, they gain a D4 Superiority dice and a single maneuver from the Battle Master list. If a character has any maneuvers already, the [Superiority] Dice for those maneuvers has its average increased by 2. For example on a D8, the average is then 6. If the character uses a Superiority dice on an action, they may make a DC 15 Acrobatics check to re-roll their Initiative for the next round – taking the best result.
  • Accomplished: [ Kinetic Aptitude 2] If the character already possesses Martial Weapons, they gain proficiency in Improvised Weapons, otherwise they learn 2 martial weapons of their choice. The Feat of Martial Adapt or a Battlemaster gets +1 Superiority dice. If the character uses a Superiority dice on an action, they may make a DC 10 Acrobatics check to re-roll their Initiative for the next round – taking the best result.
  • Exceptional: [ Kinetic Aptitude 3] The character can use an additional level of an object (ex: physical shield and armor) Resilience levels at the same time/against the same attack (assuming the object has 2 or more). The character gets to choose another maneuver from the Battlemaster list. If the character uses a Superiority dice on an action, they may make a DC 5 Acrobatics check to re-roll their Initiative for the next round – taking the best result.
  • Masterful: [ Kinetic Aptitude 4] The character can use 2 measures of Resilience from multiple objects (ex: physical shield and armor) at the same time/against the same attack. The character gets to choose another maneuver from the Battlemaster list. If the character uses a Superiority dice on an action, and they possess the Acrobatics skill, they can re-roll their Initiative for the next round – taking the best result.
