Unfettered are warriors, and as such make use of maneuvers, specific attacks or other abilities attained through rigorous training.

To use their maneuvers, unfettered must ready them into her readied maneuvers slots; with a short rest, she can change out what maneuvers she has readied. In combat, she must check for openings to assess creatures' stances and determine which of her maneuvers, if any, will be effective against her foes.

Maneuvers are almost universally completely physical in nature and have no Force components; they are expressions of the mortal body pushed to its limits. Maneuvers are divided into schools, which represent particular thoughts and approaches to combat, training, and martial abilities. The minimum primary ability needed to use a maneuver is indicated on the table to the right.

When you ready your maneuvers, you can also choose to set some as combos; the maximum number of maneuvers you can set as combos are as per the class table, above. Maneuvers designated as combos have additional effects.

At the beginning of a combat, all of your readied maneuvers are open: part of the unfettered combat style is a reliance on surprise and enemies not knowing your tactics, which allows you to freely use your maneuvers, at least initially. Even enemies you have encountered before can be caught off-guard, as it's always possible you've changed up your tactics or have learned new tricks since you last saw them.

At the beginning of each of your turns, you make an opening roll, which is 1d6; all maneuvers you have readied with an opening value of the result or lower become open. Maneuvers that are not open are closed, and cannot be used. The opening value of maneuvers depends upon its grade and the highest grade you can access, per the table below.

To use a maneuver, it must be open. Once you use a maneuver, it becomes closed.

The unfettered begins with four known maneuvers. She gains knowledge of additional maneuvers each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two maneuvers for new maneuvers from any school she can access, of any grade she can access.

If you would gain access to a school, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a school and already have access to three schools, you gain a bonus feat instead.

The unfettered's key ability for her physical attacks is dependent upon the weapon she wields; when using a maneuver, if her primary ability score for the maneuver's school is greater than the ability score she would use for her weapon, she can use that instead.
