Maneuvers
From Shape Shifter
This is the part of the game that is still under heavy playtesting. For the first play test, each player was allowed to choose 3 maneuvers from a list of 12. Avengers were allowed to change which 3 between encounters, when resting a moment. All other Archetypes were allowed to change which 3 at the end of the day, when resting the night.
