|reason=I...love this maneuver? Capital L love? But I gotta be honest, I think the fact I take it every chance I get says something. A free Standard and Swift action for the low low price of employing some foresight is one hell of a thing, for a Level 5 Maneuver to give. I'm not ''entirely'' certain where it should go elsewise, 6 does still feel pretty potent, and at 7 it would start to lose its charm, but at 5, I think it violates my balance sensibilities a little. I don't have the heart to rate it any lower, though. It's just so fun and cool. | |reason=I...love this maneuver? Capital L love?
