# Martial Maneuvers ## Martial Disciplines Every maneuver belongs to a martial discipline. The maneuvers in a discipline are usually linked by common effects, philosophies, or functions. The second line of a stance or maneuver description provides the name of the relevant discipline, along with its type (see below). Each discipline is tied to a certain skill that might be used in the execution of some of its maneuvers. Also, various weapons groups (see Fighter for Weapon Groups under the Weapon Training class feature) lend themselves well to the philosophy or maneuvers of certain disciplines. Weapons under these groups are defined as ‘discipline weapons’ for the purposes of feats, features, and other abilities that reference discipline weapons. Listed here are the different disciplines. | Discipline | Skill | Weapon Groups | | ---------------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------- | | Black Seraph | Intimidate | axes, flails, polearms | | Broken Blade | Acrobatics | close, monk, natural | | Golden Lion | Bluff | axes, heavy blades, close | | Primal Fury | Survival | axes, heavy blades, hammers | | Scarlet Throne | Sense Motive | heavy blades, light blades, spears | | Silver Crane | Perception | bows, hammers, spears | | Solar Wind | Perception | bows, crossbows, firearms, thrown | | Steel Serpent | Heal | light blades, close, monk | | Thrashing Dragon | Acrobatics | close, light blades, double | | Veiled Moon | Stealth | light blades, double, spears |
