.: Help for stand

The stand command allows you to forcefully stand up when you've been knocked
to the ground (prone), guaranteed to succeed but at a significant stamina cost.

Requirements:

  - Must be prone (knocked down)
  - Must have at least 15% of maximum stamina

Usage:

  stand
  Stand up immediately, bypassing automatic recovery

Mechanics:

  Stamina Cost: 15% of your maximum stamina
  Success Rate: 100% (guaranteed, unlike automatic recovery)
  Action Cost: Uses your action for the current round

Automatic Recovery:

If you don't manually stand, you will automatically attempt to recover each round
after the minimum prone duration expires:

  - Minimum Duration: Must remain prone for 1 full round
  - Recovery Chance: Based on your Dexterity stat
    - 25 Dexterity = 25% chance per round
    - 100 Dexterity = 53% chance per round
    - 300 Dexterity = 75% chance per round
  - Recovery Penalty: Only 1 attack that round (struggling to stand)

Strategy:

Use stand when you MUST get up immediately and have stamina to spare.
Otherwise, save stamina and let automatic recovery handle it - you'll still get 1 attack
while trying to stand.
