D&D 4E Standing from Prone in 4E?

[Lhorgrim]

OK, sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't see it down thread.

I just got KotS, and I have read the quick start rules and the pre-gen characters. I am not reading the adventure because I'm playing through it this Saturday

I noticed that the dwarf fighter has the ability to knock an opponent prone, and also gets an immediate save to avoid being knocked prone himself. I may have overlooked them, but I don't remember seeing any rules for being prone or standing from prone. I would rule that an adjacent opponent got an opportunity attack on someone trying to stand from prone, but I'm curious about the RAW if they exist yet.

Any ideas/input?

Standing from prone does not provoke.

[edit]

As far as I understand it*, only two things provoke opportunity attacks in 4e.

Moving out of or through a threatened square.
Attacking with a Ranged or Area power.

If it's not one of those two, it doesn't provoke.

* I've been wrong before. It's less traumatic every time.

Standing from prone does not provoke.

Correct. Also, it takes a move action.

Thanks for the quick response!

I guess I would have called it wrong. That's why it's nice to have a place like this to get some direction.
