So I'm playing a Mystic in an upcoming game and a few things have been asked with little to no answer. So I thought I'd pose my questions here and see what people think.
1. If I'm using a healing maneuver from Silver Crane or Radiant Dawn, if I can negate the damage with a counter, can I still slap myself or someone else and initiate the healing maneuver even out of combat?
2. Is hitting yourself actually an attack? Is that a thing you can do? Does it require an attack roll? Can you even miss?
3. If I were to utilize one of the discipline stance feats that let me expend readied maneuvers, like say Veiled Moon Shunt, it lets me teleport an opponent 30ft away, even up, after hitting them with a maneuver, presuming I expend a readied maneuver to use it. Now for Mystics, their readied maneuvers are divided into granted and withheld maneuvers, but both sorts are readied, can I burn a withheld maneuver to essentially cut down the turns required before I can ready all maneuvers again?
It feels like the answer to this is yes, but that somehow feels too strong with the Mystic's mechanic for resetting maneuvers.
4. If I added a readied maneuver via a feat, would it be added to my granted maneuvers or withheld maneuvers?
5. So, on archetypes, Knight-Chandler's Illumination ability is a bit confusing, they get Illumination instead of Animus, but then they also get Tap Animus as a bonus feat? Isn't that exactly the same as the Animus class feature just with a weak sauce starting pool? Like it can still be used for all the same things and all, right? It's not more limited than that is it?
6. I read somewhere that Aurora Soul's Defensive Aura had errata somewhere that made it not work with light armor as well, is that right? Because it seemed to me they were wrong.
7. Gunsmoke Mystic is supposedly from the Path of War: Expanded book, but I can't find it inside there anywhere, nor in the Mystic specific book. Is it homebrew, errata or like actually from a blurb somewhere or something?
