'''Stance of the Mongoose''' is a [[combat maneuver]] available to [[Monk]]s and [[Warrior]]s.
__NOTOC__
==Description==

This is a [[Martial Stance]]. If the defender successfully parries an attack while in a forward or greater stance, he or she may launch an automatic retaliatory melee or unarmed strike at -2 RT. The chance to launch this retaliatory strike is 50/75/100% at ranks 1/2/3, and such strikes are limited to once every (6 - Rank) seconds.

Retaliatory attack:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>
A ghostly pooka tries to bite you!
As you parry a ghostly pooka's attack, you see an opportunity for immediate retaliation!
You swing a vultite flamberge at a ghostly pooka!
AS: +317 vs DS: +139 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +76 = +295
... and hit for 115 points of damage!
A strong blow cleaves the left wrist!
The hand dangles, spinning slowly, and then snaps back in place!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the ghostly pooka's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The ghostly pooka ceases all attempts at movement.
The dim aura fades from around a ghostly pooka.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
