Monk Stances

[Saegen]

What do each of the monk stances do? Besides the obvious displayed by "affects".
Mainly monkey, does it make you land Chakera points better?

[gomer]

Monkey stance doesnt "make you land chakera points better" it just gives you more chances to land. Instead of have only 3 to 5 attacks a round you get upwards of 10 so you have more opportunities(?) to land one. Monkey stance also gives you a chance to land an extra double kick:

Your kick DISEMBOWLS someone!
Your Perform....I forget what it says.
Your double kick decimates someone!
Your double kick decimates someone!

Drunken stance adds to your evade or dodge by stagering out of the way of an attack

Horse stance adds resistance to poison i think.

The others are obvious i think...Tiger=damage...Crane=bypasses defenses better...not sure about Buddha and Dragon.

Each stance gives a special type of kick, I'm not sure if you get a bonus kick or extra damage or if it's just for looks.

Horse stance "You kick with the strength of a horse"

Tiger stance (something about using the claws of the tiger)

ect.

Read the helpfiles for what each stance does and try a few out for yourself and see which ones you like, try to figure out advantages and disadvantages of any stance, don't get caught up with only using tiger stance (damage- although I think they gimped it, so I don't think anyone would rely on tiger stance as much).

I had a monk for awhile and noticed that horse stance yielded much higher
damaging kicks.

Sorry for the brevity, typing on a PSP is next to impossible...
