A few points to begin off of: 1. To qualify for a 1st level maneuver, you need an initiator level of 1 or greater, according to Table 3-1 on page 39. 2. initiator level is based on this equation: Your level in a ToB class +1/2 your levels in any other class, rounded down. 3. Martial Study and Martial Stance have no initiator prerequisite, but the text requires you to meet the maneuver prerequisites. All of this seems to point to Martial Study and Martial Stance being unusable by 1st level non-ToB classes. Is there anything (ala Cutserv, FAQ, Errata) that states something to the contrary?
