You learn two additional Manoeuvre of your choice when you reach Fighter level 7, 10, and 15. Each time you learn new Manoeuvre, you can also replace one Manoeuvre you know with a different one.

Superiority Dice

You have four Superiority Dice, which are d8s. A Superiority Die is expended when you use it. You regain all expended Superiority Dice when you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest.

You gain an additional Superiority Die when you reach Fighter level 7 (five dice total) and 15 (six dice total)
