Question - What the heck is a Rouser?

[JVR]

It has an awesome Evasion bonus (the best for melee weapons), but I can't find any references to such a blade on the internet. What the heck does a "rouser" look like?

Its description uses the terms "fighting knife" and "dagger", so I'd guess it looks like a short blade attached to a handle. Since more of its damage comes from industrial-strength acids than the knife itself, chances are the blade has a considerable amount of holes/grooves/whatever in it to allow the acids to get in the target's wounds, though they don't have to be big enough to be seen with the naked eye (and probably aren't). As it's manufactured by Paragon, their logo is probably on it somewhere. I'd also imagine the acid reservoir is contained in the handle (the blade itself wouldn't be able to store much) and that its bottom is removable to allow replenishing the acids.

And, of course, it can deflect bullets.

Well, a blade rouser looks a little like this.

That is the most ridiculously impractical knife I've ever seen. If it grants an Evasion bonus, it would be because my opponent was too busy laughing at me to attack if I was holding it.
