Victoria Rules
Interesting summary.I did a bit of analysis based on various combat roles and how they might be built using the Styles and Maneuvers presented.
Overwhelmingly this build was is about 1 v 1 damage (20 features) along with some buffing/debuffing (15 features), Extra Attacks (10), normal Attack bonus (6). Suprisingly only 6 features boost AC, there are only 2 features that boost HP, 2 for Mobility and 2 for increased Range.
There are 0 features for Stealth attacks, Multi-target Area Effect attacks (eg Volley) or Battlefield control (Powerful shove is 1v 1 and only knocks back 10 ft)

Work together
basing the analysis on the following roles:
Soldier - High AC, Extra Attack
Brute - High Damage, High HP, Grapple
Defender - Reach, AC
Striker - Mobility, Damage
Artillery - Range
Command - Zone Buff/Debuffs
Blaster - Multi-target effects
Battlefield Control - Area control Mobility
Weaving Run should (also) be under "Mobility", shouldn't it? Ditto Mounted Combat?
Also, would other mobility enhancements fit in there e.g.: some sort of safe withdrawal maneuver; enhanced dash or sprint (but only while on a battlefield); something that allows rising from prone as a free action, and so forth?
I assume Archer here includes users of hand-thrown weapons e.g. spearmen or javelineers; you only list Weapon Thrower separately under "Damage" but it should probably appear everywhere Archer does..
