It occurred to me recently that some aspects of 650 fit rather well with certain combat maneuvers (e.g. Burgee w/ Shield Bash, Panther w/ Subdual Strike). Other aspects fit less aptly with some of our maneuvers, but arguments may be made to explain away like relationships. Why not tie in Assume Aspect with bonuses (say +20 to offense and defense) to certain skills from the CML?

I suppose, though I like this idea less, that an entirely new aspect could be developed specifically to aid in the use/defense of CMs on the whole as well.

You may also see this as an opportunity to encourage rangers to use some of the infrequently used aspects and maneuvers. Right now I imagine most just switch between Porcupine and Serpent/Burgee/Lion for hunting purposes.

P.S. Get rid of the cooldown on Owl, thanks. Not talking about the four minute one, either.
