.: Help for stand

The stand command forces you to your feet when you've been knocked
down (prone). It's guaranteed to succeed, but costs a meaningful
chunk of stamina.

Requirements:

  - Must be prone (knocked down)
  - Must have enough stamina to pay the cost

Usage:

  stand
  Stand up immediately, bypassing automatic recovery

Mechanics:

  Stamina Cost: A meaningful portion of your maximum stamina
  Success Rate: Guaranteed. You spend the effort and get up
    regardless of who is holding you down
  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 a brief delay:

  - Minimum Duration: Must remain prone for at least one full round
  - Recovery Chance: A free stand is a contest against whoever is
    holding you down. If nobody is attacking you, you simply
    stand back up
  - Recovery Penalty: Only one attack that round (your focus is on
    getting up)

Strategy:

Use stand when you must get up immediately and have stamina to
spare. Otherwise, save your stamina and let automatic recovery handle
it. You still get one attack while scrambling up.

If you are sleeping, stand will wake you up.
