Unless you want to be a master of all stances (what is great, I guess), it seems to be really unecessary to cap all of it. If we take a look at stance table, we find this:
*Tiger wins against Mantis (+3) and Swallow (+1);
*Dragon wins against Tiger (+2).
So, considering combat, what is the point on capping Mantis, Swallow and Monkey? And, when we think on basic stances, why to cap Crane and mongoose?
Lets discuss it! :)
Well, it's good to have them in case you decide one of these days to reroll and do a caster class, that way you'd have the other stances for defensive purposes. :)
To follow up with this, some of us are HOPELESSLY obsessive compulsive completionists (if you don't know that term, google it :p - it describes me!) and want to have everything maxxed as much as possible. As far as necessary? Maybe not, but if when it comes down to PK, it's been my experience that you end up maximizing more on anothers' mistakes rather than your successes (at least sometimes). With that said, if they're not in the 'optimal' stance, you can look at the table and see what would go best against whatever stance it is that they are in.
In any case, I think it would be useful to have them, just to be able to roll with all possible situations.
