[Metamaneuver] Feats

Metamaneuver feats are like metamagic feats for initiators. Pretty straightforward, you can apply the Metamaneuver feat to any appropriate maneuver at the time of initiation, but they can only be used on maneuvers of a certain level or lower, according to the spell level increase of the corresponding metamagic feats.

As a counter to the extra power, once you use a Metamaneuver feat on a maneuver, it (Usually) reduces your initiator level, applies a penalty such as fatigue, or prevents you from recovering the maneuver again for awhile, in addition to possibly having limited uses per day or per encounter. Lastly, you can only apply one Metamaneuver effect to a maneuver at any given time, unless otherwise noted.
