I was reading up on some of the CMan skills available to monks. Slippery mind seems well suited to a cloth wearing monk, lacking the CvA of heavy armors. I haven't learned any ranks yet. I assume the command to activate it is Cman slipperymind. Stamina cost is 20 but I can't find any reference as to how long the duration might be. Anyone know?

The duration for all martial stances is 4 hours. The trade-off is that you can only have one active at a time (so you couldn't run slippery mind and mongoose at the same time, for example).

Hmm, interesting. Is there a stop command for martial stances?

You can stop martial cmans by getting killed. Also if you run another martial stance, the one you were running will automatically fall. Example, a monk I know happens to know both slippery mind and mongoose (go figure) and when running mongoose if she does cman slip, the mongoose stance falls.

Just start a different one if you want to change. If for some reason you actually wanted to have none active I think you'd have to wait out the four hours.

not a monk thing, but Clunk switches between martial stance type capabilities by simply starting the one he wants to have active. Something like 'cman griffin' to 'shield tortoise', to 'cman griffin'.

When you ask to start one, you also ask to turn the others off.

You don't need to wait out the stance timer, you can Stop List and stop stance.
