I am trying to get my head round how this should work.
As per PHB if i am prone i can take a move action and move up to half my speed.
Alternatively shift is a valid move action where i simply move to an adjacent space without provoking opportunity attacks.
Both of these appear in the same section of the PHB, neither refers directly to the other, so neither is obviously the specific trumping the general rule.
So my question. If i am prone, can i shift to an adjacent space as i have a move allowance of half my normal speed, and can always shift one.
Or, if i am prone i cannot shift to an adjacent space because i only have half my normal movement, giving me a shift of half which gets me nowhere.
As a supplemental question, i have a number of powers allowing me to shift multiple squares, and am an Elf so ignore difficult terrain. Would this change anyone's answer?
