There are 3 stances in Unwritten Legends:
Weapons available to use at this range.


# Parry Stance - While in parry stance you will attempt to deflect any incoming attack with a shield or weapon. Take note that parrying thrown and ranged attacks with a weapon is more difficult and parrying spellbolts, bullets, and shot with a weapon is normally impossible. Parrying will always try to parry with the item in your off hand first, then your dominant hand. If you don't have anything to parry with, you will try to evade instead.
* None
# Evasive Stance - Your character will attempt to dodge any incoming attack while in evasive stance. Your defense will suffer a bigger penalty if you are prone, kneeling, or sitting while in this stance.
# Vulnerable Stance - Unusual situations may push your character into this stance. Your defense will drop dramatically. You may also enter this stance for roleplay reasons if you want to be hit by someone.
