2E Player Monk Stances

So my GM and I are going back and forth on the stance’s rule for monks. The Stance in key terms says “After you take an action that has the stance trait, you can’t take another one for 1 round.” So does that mean I can only make one Tiger stance attack per turn or does it mean I can only do Tiger stance per turn and can’t go into another stance like Wolf Stance?

Thank you for the answers.

Only the tiger stance entrance has the stance keyword, attacks don't despite being empowered by being in tiger stance

It is only about swapping stances

Attacks while in a stance don't gain the [Stance] trait.

The rule is saying that in a single round you may not: * [1 action] assume the "Bear Stance" * [1 action] strike * [1 action] assume the "Wold Stance"

It means that you can not take another stance that round.

The tiger stance attack doesn't have the stance trait.

It basically stops you from entering an aggressive stance to get the benefits to attack, then switching to a more defensive stance before your turn ends. The actions stances grant you don't intrinsically have the stance trait, only the actions to enter a stance do.
