====== Prone ======

Smart heroes lie down when lead starts flying. They move, shoot, and then get prone behind cover before their action is over, forcing attackers to go on [[rules:hold|Hold]] to attack them. Prone gives them [[tables:attack-modifiers|Medium Cover]] against most attacks. Ranged attacks within 3" ignore the modifier since the target is just as exposed as if he were standing next to these characters.

If a prone defender is caught in melee, his [[traits:parry|Parry]] is reduced by 2 and he must subtract 2 from his [[skills:fighting|Fighting]] rolls. Getting up from prone costs 2" of movement.
