PoW Warlord Gambit question

[Rauven Hart]

Hello,

So my GM and I are discussing Warlord's Gambit ability and had a few questions as to when a Gambit can actually be used.

1) Does the Warlord have to have maneuvers spent to be able to use a Gambit or can they use a Gambit regardless of whether they need to replenish their maneuvers?

2) Can the same Gambit be used back to back, for instance using the Victory Gambit on a target and on the following round using it again on either the same target (failed Gambit) or an a different target?

3)When using the Pinhole Gambit can you make your full attack action or does it have to be a standard attack? If it can be full attack and your first attack hits do you get to benefit from the reward on the follow up attacks and do you still apply your Cha bonus if you do?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Well, the most important thing to remember is that it takes a swift action to activate a gambit, so you can only benefit once per turn. besides that i will answer to the best of my ability (as a fan):
1) This is not specified. As a DM, I would likely require it to be the case.

2) As long as you have a swift action, you could keep trying a gambit, though recall that failing does give you that -2 penalty on d20 rolls for one turn.

3) As written, it can be a full attack. So, I'd say yes; you could benefit from the Pinhole Gambit for the rest of your attacks should you have any.

@3. You would not gain your CHA to each attack of the full attack action. The gambit was for the attack you made (the first attack), once that is resolved you are making another attack which has nothing to do with the gambit but could benefit from the initial attack's results (the AC penalty).
