Easy Prone Combat Questions

Because frankly - it seems stupid that there is absolutely no way to avoid the AOO that comes from standing up, when in just about every other situation there is a way to do so.

I found a really easy way. I House Ruled the AoO away. YMMV. ;)

So my question is: Does a prone character threaten the area around him?

Yep. You can attack from a prone position.

We were looking on pg. 138 in 3.5 PHB under Move Actions:

Move action: A move action allows you to move your speed or perform an action that takes a similar amount of time. You can move your speed, climb 1/4, draw weap. or item, STAND UP, pick up an obj, or perform equiv action see table 8.2.

If you move no actual distance in a round (commonly because you have swapped your move for one or more equivalent actions, such as STANDING UP), you can take one 5' step either before, during, or after the action. For example, if Tordek is on the ground, he can stand up ( a move action), move 5' (a 5' step), and then attack.

After reading that we were kinda confused, I did agree that would take away from the trip but that would in turn take away from the tumble skill which kinda defines the char. type.


just my 2 cp.
