The Stance verb can be used to change a character's stance, usually between six different stances: offensive, forward, advancing, neutral, guarded, and defensive. The stances are 20% increases or decreases in defensive or offensive capabilities. The articles for the various weapon skills list the manner in which the stance verb affects a character's attack strength while the Dodging, Shield Use, and the various weapon skill articles explain how stance affects defensive strength.

The combat maneuver, Combat Mastery, allows a character to refine their stance to 10% (at rank 1) or 5% (at rank 2) changes in stance.

Note: the only article that lists parry defense is the Two Weapon Combat article.
