Dwarves don't go prone easy? Even if unconscious?

[Fredrik Svanberg]

"when an attack would knock you prone"

The attack killed him, so getting knocked prone was an effect of the attack. Save away!

Yes, I'm just trying to be funny. No need to reply to this to point out that I'm wrong.

Attack > Prone = they get a save...

Attack > Unconcious > Prone = you do not get a save...

It was bound to happen. Cheesus...

That is actually completely badass.

I actually had a viking blacksmith NPC who built a suit of full plate that locks up and lets him stay upright when killed (this was high level, so rez was pretty frequent).

So dwarves are like cows? They sleep while standing?

Are we going to see instances of Dwarf tipping start up in the midwest now?

Heck, I've fallen asleep standing up before (in the middle of talking, no less ... but that's Ranger training for ya) so I can see it for dwarves.

You remained standing? Every time that happened to me or someone else I knew they always either fell over or nodded and then woke up. Marine training here. I mean, were you really asleep, as in you didn't wake back up right away and you just stood there sleeping? I don't think that's biologically possible for a person.

Generally speaking dwarves are about the size height to width. So, prone or not it makes no difference.

So...Ranger training beats Marine training?

I was waiting for a comment like this. But you'll notice in my example that no one actually did fall asleep for longer than a second.... If they did fall down, the ground woke them up.

I know a guy who tells the story of how he got knocked unconcious by a falling brick, while standing on a 2 inch I beam. His unconcious body actually managed to stay up long enough for him to wake up (approx. 20 seconds)

On a balance standpoint, I don't think dwarves need any more bonuses. second wind on a minor, good skill bonuses, con bonus, no movement penalty on heavy armor, they're walking tanks already without being able to be standing unconcious.

Sleepwalking dwarves would be an interesting mental image, though.
