TwinDevils/Fighting Styles

Fighting Styles are stances that a character can be in to receive specific benefits. Changing stances takes an action. Training new styles requires a trainer, but advancing styles to higher ranks can be done through self-training, or more rapidly through a trainer that knows the style.
