Maneuers are a set of special options which can be used together with a specific skill. "Basic Maneuver" are options that anypony can use, but Advanced Maneuver have to be learned through practice and training. Advanced Maneuver are be divided into specific Ranks. To learn a new maneuver Rank you have to learn the nesesary Talent. Additional Maneuver can be learned by selecting a Extra Training Feat (see page xxx). When you learn a new maneuver, make sure that maneuver may only be learned if you have a higher or the same amount of maneuvers in every lower maneuver Rank.

The distance you can push them is effectively doubled. Secondly, you can push opponents back through other opponents (or allies).

:Effect: You improve the maneuverability class of every member of your formation by one step when using any ability to fly. For example, a creature rated as a good flier becomes a perfect one with this Maneuver. A perfect flier with this Maneuver ignores the first increment of reduction in maneuverability due to adverse effects. You increase the base flying speed of every member of your formation by 1 square.

* '''Sonic Boom''' (Ex) [General]
:Activation: Move Action
:Effect: If the Pegasus manages to fly over 40 squares in a single round, and pass a DC 15 flying check at the end of it, they can produce a sonic boom, which deals 5d6 sonic damage in a 4 square spread centered around the final destination of the pegasus in that round. In addition, the character produces a color or vapor trail. The vapor trail is equivalent to a light cloud with (6 + Dexterity modifier) fatigue points and a Diffusion Rating of 1.

* '''Tornado''' (Ex) [Formation]
:Activation: Full-Round Action
:Effect: A flying pegasus with in 4 squares of the ground can start a small cyclone around them (4 squares tall, 1 square at the base, 4 squares diameter at the top). The cyclone requires the full and continued concentration of the pegasus to maintain and is considered flat footed whilst in the vortex. The vortex grabs any medium or smaller creature or object it moves over, grappling them. The Vortex is able to suck up water, dirt or cloudstuff. Against characters the pegasus leading the vortex makes grapple checks at a +4 bonus (as though they were large) and may use their dexterity score in place of strength to resolve the grapple check. Anyone successfully grappled by the cyclone takes 3d6 damage and 1d6 per round and can only escape the cyclone by taking a full round action to oppose the grapple again. The cyclone is considered a distracting environment for spell casters. Once initiated, other Pegasi flying in formation may contribute to the size of the Vortex, even if they themselves do not have this maneuver. The damage of the vortex improves by +1 for each 5 full points in the Flight skill of an additional Pegasus involved and the vortex grows 1 square at the top. For each 10 full points in the Flight skill of an additional Pegasus involved, the base of the vortex grows by 1 square and adds +1 to the grapple modifier. For each 4 squares the base of the vortex becomes larger, the size category of objects or characters grabbed increases by one category. Other participating Pegasi are also required to concentrate fully on the creation of the vortex, are considered flat-footed and have to invest (5 - Strength Modifier; minimum 1) fatigue per round.

===Grade 6===
* '''Hyperspeed''' (Su) [General]
:Activation: Swift Action
:Effect: If the character manages to fly over 60 squares in a single round, and pass a DC 25 flying check at the end of it, You enter another time frame, speeding up so greatly that all other characters seem frozen, though they are actually still moving at normal speed. You are free to act for 1 round of apparent time. You can cast spells, move, or perform maneuvers and other types of actions, subject to the restrictions outlined below. While you move at hyperspeed, other characters are invulnerable to your attacks and powers. This means you cannot target a creature with any attack, maneuver, or spell. However, an effect you activate that affects an area and has a duration longer than the remaining while you move at hyperspeed has its normal effect on creatures in the area once this power ends. You can affect an unattended object but not an object held, carried, or worn by another creature. When your temporal acceleration expires, you resume acting during your current turn in the standard time frame. Upon your return to the standard time frame move one step down the physical condition track. If you step down two or more steps on the condition track those steps become persistent.

* '''Sky Supremacy''' (Su) [General]
:Activation: Standard Action, 1 Harmony Point
:Effect: Emulate a Sky Magic Spell of Grade 5 or lower as a flight maneuver. Make Flight checks instead of any Use Magic check. If the emulated spell has any additional cost, pay as described in the spell.

* '''Sonic Rainboom''' (Su) [Rainbow]
:Prerequisite: Rainbow Mane feat
:Activation: Move Action
:Effect: If the character manages to fly over 60 squares in a single round, and pass a DC 25 flying check at the end of it, they can produce a sonic rainboom, which deals 10d6 sonic damage in a 12 square spread centered around the final destination of the character in that round. In addition, a rainbow will trail the character who has just completed a sonic rainboom for 1 minute. Apart from looking awesome (and preventing any sort of hiding), the rainbow aura grants the character +5 to all attack and damage rolls while it remains. The aura may be dismissed early as a free action. Failing to pass the dexterity check propels the character backwards to their starting point for that round and they are flat footed for the remainder of the encounter.

* '''To the Moon''' (Ex) [General]
:Activation: Swift Action, 2 fatigue per round after the first
:Effect: As long as this maneuver is active, negate all penalties from the both condition tracks and aerial environmental penalties, such as strong winds or lack of oxygen. As soon as this maneuver ends, count all penalties as normal again.

* '''Sunken Song''' [General] 
You can project your voice underwater.
:Prerequisite: Perform (sing) 4 ranks, Bardic music class feature 
:Benefit: By tremendous effort of will and sheer musical ability, you can use Perform (sing) underwater even though you cannot breathe water. This is more like a forceful humming than singing, and words are not intelligible, but you are able to produce bardic music effects. The maximum distance of such effects (where applicable) is unchanged. This feat does not help with Perform checks involving oratory or wind instruments.
:Normal: You cannot use any air-dependent Perform skills underwater if you are not able to breathe water.

* '''Swim-By Attack''' [General] 
You can attack in the middle of a fast pass by your opponent.
:Prerequisite: Swim speed
:Activation:  
:Benefit: When swimming, you can take a move action and another standard action (such as an attack) at any point during the move. You cannot take a second move action during a round when you make a swim-by attack.
:Normal: Without this feat, you take a standard action either before or after your move, but not in the middle of your move.

* '''Toothed Blow''' [General] 
You are able to hammer your foes more effectively underwater.
:Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike (PH) , STR 13
:Activation:  
:Benefit: When making unarmed strikes, your attacks count as piercing weapons as well as bludgeoning weapons. This allows you to avoid the penalties for using bludgeoning weapons underwater when making unarmed strikes (see Table 3-22: Combat Adjustments Underwater on page 92 of the Dungeon Master's Guide).
:Normal: Without a freedom of movement effect, you take a -2 penalty on attacks with bludgeoning weapons and deal only half normal damage.
