You will find that many abilities require and/or use "balance", which
refers to your physical balance. Actions such as punching or swinging a
weapon require balance to use and will leave you momentarily off-balance
after successful execution. Balance typically recovers on its own, but the
amount of time varies from ability to ability, and more complex maneuvers
require a longer recovery time.
If you have a prompt enabled, balance is represented by a lower case "b".
When the "b" appears, it signifies that you have balance. If it is not
there, you are off-balance.
If your balance somehow disappears and does not return on its own, you
may use the REBALANCE command to force balance recovery. Rebalancing
is not intended to be used in combat or to force faster balance recovery,
and as such, it can take up to 9 seconds to fully recover forced return
of your balance. If any action leaves you without balance repeatedly,
please report it as a BUG.
