@scatterbreakExcellent UA article! One thought: as Hunter’s Mark is really big for rangers, maybe a non-spell variant of it could be added? Not sure the ranger needs both that and the boosted damage of superiority dice…I’d be more inclined to give out more dice

@scatterbreakMaybe a combination? Could give the ranger maneuvers based off ranger spells – making them more distinct from battle masters. At that point, what are you gaining by having maneuvers instead of spells?
