So I turn a corner and there's 5 guys with shotguns about 30 meters down this 3 meter wide underground hall. They're in a pretty close formation, definitely within 10 meters of each other.
The hall is empty, no cover I get the jump on them and want them to not fill me with lead, I activate suppression fire. What happens? Do they instantly fall prone (reacting out of order) Do they get to shoot at me with impunity while lying on the floor? Is there any chance of them getting hit? We managed to resolve this as a dodge action for all of them then a free move to try and crawl away, but I'm pretty sure we went with that because the book didn't seem to give a clear path. How would/do you resolve it in your games? |
