Rogue CMAN Idea: Stop Short

[Fallen]

I'd like to see a rogue-only CMAN which allows for a chance at RT reduction when EBP'd. I honestly have no idea how to balance it other than to not allow it to work 100% if passive, but I can see it in one of two forms.

1. Passive - Flat percent chance to reduce your RT by a percentage, with at least 1 second off for faster swings, more for lengthier misses.

2. Active command - You would use the CMAN as a modified attack with a guaranteed RT reduction for a missed ambush. Balanced with stamina costs.

The maneuver would show the rogue realizing he missed his mark and disengaging from his target. Anyone think they'd make use of a maneuver like this? I x-posted this on the officials but would like to cut an uncensored response as well.

I like this idea, it would definitely have to be passive. I'd also like the see them get an RT reduction if the rogue EBPs, encourage buckler builds and such.

so turn the tonis set into a cman? I think rogues should get the steel short sword ability as a crown control too..

I had no idea this is something already granted by an auction quality item. Isn't there like ...1 completed set of those in the whole game?

Yea only 2 sets but the abilities are very similar to what you are suggesting
