Jun 03, 2008 6:24:01 What type of action is standing from prone in 4.0 - move or minor?
(Some of the characters in the RPGA Preview Adventures for LFR have the ability to knock prone . . .)

Thanks!

It does not provoke an opportunity attack (only moving out of a threatened square and making a ranged or area attack provoke)

Jun 03, 2008 22:26:49 Being a member of WotC's Delegate Demo team, I got my copies last week. From my PHB:

COMBAT (CH9, pg 277)

PRONE
- You grant combat advantage to enemies making melee attacks against you.
- You get a +2 bonus to all defenses against ranged attacks from nonadjacent enemies.
- You’re lying on the ground. (If you’re flying, you safely descend a distance equal to your fly speed. If you don’t reach the ground, you fall.)
- You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.
- You can drop prone as a minor action.

Actions in Combat (pg 289)
MOVE ACTIONS: Stand up Stand up from prone

COMBAT (CH9, pg 291)
Stand Up
If you’ve been knocked prone, you need to take a move
action to get back on your feet.
STAND UP: MOVE ACTION
- Unoccupied Space: If your space is not occupied by another creature, you stand up where you are.
- Occupied Space: If your space is occupied by another creature, you can shift 1 square, as part of this move action, to stand up in an adjacent unoccupied space. If your space and all adjacent squares are occupied by other creatures, you can’t stand up.

I can find nothing in the PHB that says getting up provokes an OA, but nothing that says it doesn't.

I hope this helps.
