bonus action to verbally speak or signal an order to an ally to attack a target of your choice, any ally that chooses to attack
the target gains a bonus to hit equal to half of your proficiency bonus rounded down. You can change the target of your
mark by spending a bonus action to mark another target, however, you can mark only one target at a time. You can do this
equal to your intelligence modifier, regain all expended uses after a long rest.

goad, and manipulate their enemies with deadly precision.
Maneuvers
You learn three maneuvers of your choice, which are detailed pg 74 in the Player's Handbook under Maneuvers, and
Disarming Strike. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn
two additional maneuvers of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also

At 16th level, you turn your ferocity with your attacks into shocking or awing your target. In addition to healing a creature,
when you score a critical hit on an enemy or when a creature critically fails a saving throw for your spells or attacks,
choose one creature that can see or hear you and choose shock or awe. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw
