Which I would agree with.They're ok, but in no way are they as interesting as having the ability to shoot explosions from your hands or charm intelligent creatures into doing your bidding. Or hide in shadows, or spider climb.There are dry abilities and juicy abilities. Dry abilities, you look at them and there's just the mechanical interaction. The "fluff" separates cleanly; it's epiphenomenal. Juicy abilities, you're like "ooh...I wonder how this is going to be used."Stances are pretty dry. They're a minor tactical interest module for combat, potentially more elegant than previous editions' attempts at this sort of thing. nothing more, nothing less.</blockquote>
