You should be able to stay down, and not provoke an AOO, ruleswise.....on the other hand, you'd think lying there like a log and doing nothing is just as much an opportunity as trying to get up, and realistically asks for somebody to perform a CDG on you. This, of course, is why in real life, you roll out of the way (5' move while prone), before attempting to get up. This point comes up later. The lack of DEATH FROM ABOVE is another peeve. It's classic: Fly or levitate above your unsuspecting opponent, then dismiss the spell and plummet at him pointy-thing down in an attempt to skewer him like a kebab and land on him. If he hasn't looked up, he'll have no idea you're there.That's not weird. I can happily demonstrate this for you by grabbing you by the ankles and hauling you over.I somehow think the rules for how far one can crawl in 6 seconds may be a little overly harsh. Has anyone actually tried to time this with a stopwatch, keeping in mind that you are, by no means, an Olympic crawling champion? If you can get further than 5 feet in 6 seconds crawling, I think it's safe to say that the rules might be a little bit harsh on that. Logically, it follows that the way one would make a 5' move while prone is to roll. This is carried about from personal experience: When you fall over in a fight in real life, you roll the hell away from your opponent and then try and get up.</blockquote>
