The art of combat involves learning a variety of fighting stances and maneuvers. The stances generally focus upon protecting certain parts of your body when facing knights who have been trained to inflict critical wounds. While being in a stance that protects your head, for example, a sword or mace blow to the head could be lessened or even completely avoided. As your skill increases in combat, the number and effectiveness of your stances will increase.
Note: All stances below are only effective against monks and will be removed once monks are overhauled.
