Okay, I've noticed a lot of these while perusing PoW on the SRD, so I'm just gonna make a list...

  1. Most of the disciplines, only have links in their tables of contents for the 1st level maneuvers. The only ones that have fully linked TOCs are Black Seraph and Broken Blade.
  2. Black Seraph has working links, that's fine, but the page is formatted differently from every other discipline's, with the maneuvers all hidden on different, separate pages rather than at the bottom of the page. If you change it to match the others, you might want to change the links as well.
  3. If the intent is to have them formatted like Black Seraph, then Broken Blade has the opposite problem, being formatted and with internal page links for every single maneuver.
  4. Like most of the disciplines, Golden Lion has links only for 1st level maneuvers, but for some reason, despite being written on the discipline's page, these links link to other pages, like the Black Seraph ones.
  5. For all the remaining disciplines, their links are written wrong, as, http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers#TOC-[Maneuver-Name] when they should be written with the format http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers/[discipline-name]-maneuvers#TOC-[Maneuver-Name] replacing the bracketed bits with the relevant info.


On the topic of in-text errors that I've come across and can remember


  • Solar Wind: I'm honestly confused on a certain bit, so I'll just try to make this clear, the emphasis will be mine...
From http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers 
Solar Wind’s associated skill is Perception and its weapon groups are bows, crossbows, firearms, and thrown. All maneuvers of this discipline require the use of a weapon in these groups or the firearms weapon group.
The same quote is on the actual Solar Wind page itself as well, but that page also has the following near the top of its page, just above the tables, and again just below the maneuver tables (but above the maneuver descriptions):

Solar Wind maneuvers may only be performed with a weapon in the bow, crossbow, or thrown weapon groups (see the fighter weapon training class feature).

You can probably understand me being a little confused about how Solar Wind interacts with firearms at this point.
  • Solar Wind: Solar Flare gets cutoff and is missing most of its in-detail text. I have no idea where it went, it might be somewhere else on the page but without knowing what the next words are supposed to be, I can't easily track them down.
  • Steel Serpent: Sickening Venom Strike has some really messed up formatting, because all of the stuff that's supposed to be under its header is under Sting of the Asp, after SotA's description.

Solar flare, solar wind restrictions, and the steel serpent issues have been fixed. Solar wind can definitely use firearms (one even explicitly mentions using a firearm). The original POW just had some inconsistency.

The links, inconsistent formatting, and split pages are a different issue. Personally, I prefer all the maneuvers on one page (directly searchable convenience) but I'm guessing somebody wanted them to be more consistent with other content (every feat, trait, spell, etc. has its own page).

I'll look into the bad links.

I personally don't care about how things are grouped/not grouped so really it's up to whomever is enthusiastic enough to set it up how they want it presented.
