Usage:
    STANCE (stance type)

Where {stance type} is one of the following:
    OFFENSIVE  (all offensive, no regard to defense!)
    ADVANCE    (mostly offensive, little defense.)
    FORWARD    (more offensive, moderate defense.)
    NEUTRAL    (more defense, moderate offense.)
    GUARDED    (mostly defensive, little offense.)
    DEFENSIVE  (all defensive, no offensive.)

Use STANCE VERBOSE to show your stance changes to others in the room.

Usage

By Itself

Using STANCE by itself will display the character's current stance.

Messaging

>stance
You are currently at a defensive stance.

Default

The default STANCE messaging is fairly basic and does not output to other players in the room.

>stance offensive
You are now in an offensive stance.

>stance advance
You are now in an advancing stance.

>stance forward
You are now in a forward stance.

>stand neutral
You are already standing.

>stance neutral
You are now in a neutral stance.

>stance guarded
You are now in a guarded stance.

>stance defensive
You are now in a defensive stance.

VERBOSE

STANCE VERBOSE toggles the output for stance changing to other players, allowing for limited roleplay capabilities.

Messaging

>stance verbose
Others in the room will now see your stance changes (if you're visible).

>stance verbose
You are no longer showing your stance changes to others in the room.
