    Formation
    
    Formation allows you to assume an organized position
    within a party's ranks in order to do battle with
    your foes.
    
    You may have three ranks (aka rows, lines) of combatants
    per party, with a maximum of two players per rank.  There
    must be at least one person in each lower rank in order
    to assume a position.  For example, you must have someone
    in the 1st rank before someone can occupy the second rank.
    
    Members of the party not in a ranked position are assumed 
    to be attacking in an uncoordinated, yet allied fashion.
    
    Syntax:
       formation report
    	shows the party's current battle formation
       formation first
    	you assume a position in the first rank
       formation second
    	ditto second
       formation third
    	To have a third rank you must have 5 members
    	in the party, and at least one player in the
    	first and second ranks.
    
    
    
    Second rank will do /2 your melee damage unless wielding a bow.
    Third rank will do 1/4 melee  damage unless wielding a bow.
    Third rank gets their total level bonus to magic/religion/singing/quintessence.
    Damage sharing parsed on rank order position with larger % going to 1st ranks.
