I am happy to announce Path of War is now DG legal!
Minor changes (these are of course just cautionary as we introduce a new system, and may end up being unnecessary)
Removal of the following -
Primal Fury
Broken Blade
Martial Training Feat
1/2 Initiator class equivalent for non initiator classes
Classes who loose broken blade/and or primal fury can pick one out of class discipline to replace them (just one even if you loose both). If your archetype replaces one of them, you get that instead of the choice. You cannot pick black seraph or silver crane as those are supposed to be locked to a rp hinderance.
Additionally, due to these martial s being much more flexible and better built than non initiators, I (wizardfrog) will be handling character rebuilds.
To qualify for a character rebuild the character you wish to remake to an initiator must be at least level 3 and one of the following:
-Have a base 1 bab class for the overwhelming majority of its levels -be a rogue, ninja, or monk (can only rebuild into stalker)
PM me if you qualify and wish to rebuild.
GMs if during a session you feel like a maneuver or combination is to strong, write a thorough report of the exact actions the player took, there are a lot of limiters that are not apparent on first reads of the classes (such as warlords cannot recover maneuvers they use as part of a gambit) that tone done seemingly broken mechanics. Post it in the DM section.
Happy gaming,
The Council of Leads and GM's

Way to completely shit all over characters that want to go into any of the dual class prestige classes. Also I remember being distinctly told on multiple occasions that I would be able to rebuild.

I'll be taking advantage of the "swap out a martial discipline" feature soon.
For a future update, could we get half-initiator levels specifically from other PoW classes (or at least the PoW prestige classes)? That should make the prestige classes more usable (as the writers intended) without opening up too much build unpredictability too soon.

PoW prestige classes give +1 initiator level by default.

Will Path of War: Expanded be allowed once it's out? And will Broken Blade and Primal Fury be un-banned once the errata's out?
Akasha, Tzocatl, and/or Ultimate Psionics when? Psionics Augmented: Occult will even have some stuff to make DSP stuff and OA mesh well with each other.

Will Path of War: Expanded be allowed once it's out? And will Broken Blade and Primal Fury be un-banned once the errata's out? That depends largely on how we feel about the content after reviewing it. It will be considered, but there's no guarantees.

That depends largely on how we feel about the content after reviewing it. It will be considered, but there's no guarantees. Gotcha. And some advice from a player who's acquainted with two of DSP's devs: PoW classes tend to be slightly ahead of the curve in comparison to stuff like the Bard, Magus, Inquisitor, etc. early on (levels 1-6), but quickly fall in line, something that Expanded and the errata aim to fix (And that removing broken blade and primal fury deals with). And when the full book for Expanded comes out, I'd say the biggest issue would be the Mystic, not for balance reasons but because of logistical issues that can make it a pain in the ass to use on virtual tabletops. Its recovery method involves most of the readied maneuvers being withheld at first, with random ones being added to the granted list each round, and starting from scratch once there are no readied maneuvers left. I'd recommend revising this to something like just going down a list in some pre-determined order.
