[Marcloure]

That does it for all purely martial miscellaneous humanoids. Blackguard, war priest, and some other half-casters are missing.

[mlenser]

Can you include any maneuvers of higher costs than currently usable? There aren't too many maneuvers of higher costs, but I'd like to allow monsters to scale up/down a little. So if they scale up they should get the higher maneuvers.

[Marcloure]

I can do that, but probably only later today.

[mlenser]

Archer

• 1 Stamina die: distant shot, volley
• 2 Stamina dice: rain of arrows

Archer should have a lot more imo:

"Distant Shot", "Distract", "Impale", "Precision", "Ricochet", "Vault", "Volley", "Rain of Arrows", "Entangling Shot"

[mlenser]

Assassin

• 1 Stamina die: ambush, feint, gag, precision, step of the wind
• 2 Stamina dice: blind, staggering strike

Assassin should also have a lot more imo:

"Ambush", "Bloodletting Blade", "Cripple", "Disorient", "Distract", "Fan of Blades", "Feint", "Gag", "Grievous Wound", "Nimble Dodge", "Pierce Armor", "Positioning Strike", "Precision", "Blind", "Feigned Opening", "Misdirection", "Slashing Blades", "Slice Tendon"

[mlenser]

Added maneuvers to Aarakocra, Archer, Assassin, Bandit, Bandit Captain

[Marcloure]

About the ones that already have spells, such as the blackguard and warpriest, should I keep their selection or retheme them?

[mlenser]

I do a bit of both. Keep any spells you think match their flavor, but also pick a bunch of spells from themes in the new system that match their flavor. Drop any that don't.

[mlenser]

Added maneuvers to Berserker, Champion, Commoner, Cult Fanatic, Cultist, Gladiator, Guard, Knight, Martial Arts Adept, Master Thief, Noble, Scout, Spy, Swashbuckler, Thug, Tribal Warrior, Veteran, and Warlord
