Prone: Difference between revisions

A Prone creature is one that has been knocked down or is otherwise laying on the ground, such as a creature under the effect of [[lore/sleep|Sleep]]. However, a creature suffering the effects of being [[lore/stunned|Stunned]] or paralyzed are also considered Prone.

Prone creatures are considered [[lore/flat-footed|Flat-footed]] and therefore lose their [[lore/dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[lore/ac|AC]]. Creatures attacking a prone individual with a melee weapon get a +4 to their Attack Roll. However, characters attacking a prone individual with a ranged weapon get a penalty of -4 to their Attack Roll. Also, getting up from a Prone position incurs an [[lore/attack-opportunity|Attack of Opportunity]], but recovering from being [[Stunned]] or Paralyzed does not.
