(it's a martial version of Innate Spell) Martial Mastery Prerequisites: Ability to initiate 9th-level manoeuvres Benefit: Select one manoeuvre of 3rd level or lower you know from a school in which you can initiate 9th-level manoeuvres. You may initiate that manoeuvre at will, to a maximum of once per round. Yes, Innate Spell restricts the caster to 1st-level spells and has more prerequistes, but there are a number of differences. - Manoeuvres are not as powerful as spells - Manoeuvres can be used more often than spells - The type of manoeuvre is restricted - A martial adept can normally trade out his low-level manoeuvres for more powerful ones - he's forced to retain this one, and would never ready it once he has this feat. Martial Mastery (Shadow Jaunt) would go great with Sun School...

Prime32 11-28-07, 02:57 PM	Limiting it to strikes, perhaps?
CryoSilver 11-28-07, 09:12 PM	Well, honestly, I'd never take it. Even a warblade has subbed out most of his low level maneuvers, and by level 17 he can ready 6, IIRC. Combat almost never lasts more than 4 rounds at that level, in my experience, so this would be a feat on the very low end of usefulness.
