.: 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: 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 a brief delay:

  - Minimum Duration: Must remain prone for at least one full round
  - Recovery Chance: Scales with your Dexterity — nimble characters
    scramble to their feet faster than lumbering ones
  - 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.
