The resulting message depends on whether the character begins standing, sitting or prone. A character who is already kneeling remains in that position and receives the already-kneeling message. |

Knee is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is best suited to impact weapons and least suited to both puncture and slice weapons.
Knee temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to evasion, parry, and shield defenses.
