A mouse is a small rodent smaller than a rat, and much more docile and cowardly.

Combat
Mice flee from combat, too small and fragile to do much. Only in unusually large swarms do mice ever get the bravery to attack things, and often things still too small to pose harm to mankind.

Skills: Mice have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Listen checks. A mouse can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. A mouse uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier for Climb and Swim checks.

Mice as Familiars
Mice can serve as familiars for characters eligible to obtain familiars including arcane engineers, hexblades, mind weavers, shadowsworn, sorcerers, and wizards. Arcane casters with mouse familiars gain a +3 bonus to Hide checks. Mice are suitable familiars for Tiny spellcasters.
