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 fast 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 by stamina costs.
The maneuver would show the rogue realizing he missed his mark and disinengaing from his target. Anyone think they'd make use of a maneuver like this?
EPD'd = Evaded, Blocked, or Parried. (I had to think about it for a few so figured others might as well).
I like the concept of this as a martial stance (e.g. passive) maneuver. For my ambushing rogue, I'm not sure if I would take it or not but it's got me at least considering that I might. Good idea!

As a martial stance it would force a decision as to which stance to assume, correct. As a passive CMAN then you could have this up with other passives and a martial stance at which point I would see this as a bit overpowered (just my opinion though and obviously implementation dependent).

For me it would be a decision between Stop Short and Predator's Eye.
