STANCE

'STANCE'

In conjunction with mental and physical training, a skilled monk learns the 
fighting styles and attributes of many.  The monk then focuses their mind and 
mimics that style with great accuracy.  The monk must assume that stance, to 
properly fight like what they seek to mimic.  Since the different stances they 
may learn do different things, they must either empower offensive or defensive 
to successfully do a certain stance.  Some attacks and/or effects are unique
to the particular stance.
