prone

-6 Agility.
-5 DV.
-80 move speed.
Must spend a turn to stand up.

If a creature is knocked prone, they require one turn to stand back up again. If prone on an object that can be laid on, such as a bedroll, the creature's effect is renamed to lying on (object). Creatures that do not have any body part that is feet-like, roots-like, nor contribute any mobility cannot be knocked prone.

The Movement Speed penalty does not have any effect, as prone creatures cannot move and getting back up is an action dependent on Quickness.
