Hi. I'm playing my first 4e barbarian (level 11), and am statting him out. I'm intrigued by the feat support for attacking prone enemies, and had already been thinking of using a polearm. But for full advantage, I'd have to attack the target while they are still pone. Does that kind of thing happen a lot - where someone gets knocked down, and then decides to stay there for a round or two? I'd think they get right back up (sure, it usually costs them their move *and* standard action, which is a bummer). Thanks.
Barbarian - many attacks on prone enemies?

The best answer I can give you here is that 4e really, really shines when you build a party.
And this is probably the best example of it : there are many ways to impose all the different status available, and most last until the end of your next round. So for most things, you can make a setup and profit from it on your own.
Prone is one of the very few that, realistically, requires some assistance. If you've got a buddy or two that can prone reliably... Well then, you're off to the races!
TL;DR - no. Prone is one of those conditions that are very, very hard to make stick for a whole round on your lonesome. BUT it's "easy" to have a friend that does it reliably.
