The blademaster had it with these kids and their unarmed attacks, their stupid sphinxes and trains. She was going to kill all of them.
A risky stance developed by true masters of the way, it allow the initiator in it to perform great feats of skill and mastery. It grant the user total mastery over their initiating, grant them the ability to attacks with a flurry of precise blows and make them almost impossible to part from their weapon. However a single missed attack cause the entire stance to crumble and the user to become severely impaired for a little while.
While in this stance all of your Maneuver Known become Readied except for previously expended maneuvers you have no yet recovered. Iterative attacks gained from BAB no longer gain a penalty greater than -5. Therefore, a initiator with 16 BAB has an attack roll of +16/+11/+11/+11 instead of +16/+11/+6/+1. You gain an extra attack as per haste this does not stack with haste or similar abilities. You ignore any concealment or miss chance against creature you attack, except total concealment. Finally you also become unable to be disarmed or have your weapon sundered by creatures with a lower BAB than your own.
If you miss an attack while in the Edgemaster's Art Stance, you immediately drop it and become Uncentered for twice as many rounds as you used it, to a maximum of 10 rounds. When you change out of Edgemaster's Art Stance, whether to initiate another stance or because of a missed attack, all of your readied maneuver become expended.
