Quoth the Raven (3.5e Maneuver)

"Dictate the terms of the battle, and you will be unstoppable."

As a standard action, you may make a melee attack against an opponent. If successful, you may declare an action type (immediate, swift, standard, or full-round). The creature struck by the attack is then barred from using any ability that requires the action you stipulated for one round per two initiator levels. Should the target of this maneuver be attacked during the duration, they may make a Fortitude save; success reduces the duration by one round.
