EDIT: Hey y'all, I've gotten a lot of emails and private messages about the link being down, and that is on purpose. I'm happy to report that Roaring Mouse has been published! It underwent a fair few changes since the version that was in that link, so I took it down to prevent confusion. If you'd like to check it out, it's now part of Akasha Reshaped: Path of Enlightenment, available on drivethrurpg (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/361495/Akasha-Reshaped-Path-of-Enlightenment). It also contains another familiar face from the forums, the Epilektoi (previously known as the Saint), a reimagining of the Crusader from 3.5's Tome of Battle. Plus, there's a whole lot more in there. Remember martial scripts and the crown of white ravens from ToB?

I'll also confirm that everything is going to be on the Library, once I get through my backlog. Watch out for it in late July 2021, if all goes well.

I've made a new discipline for Path of War, the Roaring Mouse! This discipline focuses on mainly on crowd control and status effects, with a minor focus on teamwork. It's in the same vein as roguish disciplines like Shattered Mirror, Cursed Razor, and Steel Serpent (though I hope I've struck a nice balance that doesn't fall into the pit that Steel Serpent finds itself in).

Currently, I still need to write a new intro paragraph (the first one I wrote was... too long) and get the discipline a Tradition. Other than that, it's got all the maneuvers needed for a full discipline as well as a Style feat chain and a couple of related feats that combo the discipline with curse maneuvers (Eternal Guardian, Cursed Razor) and Golden Lion.

Comments, feedback, and playtest data are welcome!

Love the sheer complexity of the discipline .... and its unique mechanics and reliance on Escape Artist checks. I'll test a decked-out NPC out against my players next session to see how it plays out. Thank you!

Glad you like it! And I look forward to hearing about your game. I hope your players enjoy (or possibly hate) fighting a Roaring Mouser~
