Manoeuvres

Manoeuvres are a set of Passive Features available to Battle Master Fighter at Level 3 or those who have taken the  Martial Adept feat. They are powerful attacks that use superiority dice, a resource that recovers on a Short Rest or Long Rest.

Save DC

• If the manoeuvre requires a save DC, that DC is 8 + your Proficiency Modifier + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, whichever is higher.
