<h3>How Stances Are Saved</h3>
<ul>
<li>On creation, each bot gets its <b>class default stance</b> (table above).</li>
<li>If you change a bot’s stance, that stance is saved and will be used next time the bot loads.</li>
<li><b>Passive (1)</b> is “safe mode” and skips saving extra behavior tweaks; it’s mainly for parking bots.</li>
<li>Stances are stored per-bot; each bot remembers its last stance.</li>
</ul>

<p>
You can change a bot’s stance at any time with your usual <code>^bot stance</code> commands (or UI equivalent);
the behavior for each class in different stance ranges is summarized below.
