I just noticed something weird with dropping prone:
QUOTE ('SR4A p. 146') A character may not take a Free Action prior to his first Action Phase in the Initiative Pass. How many Action Phases does one get per IP? I thought it was one.QUOTE ('SR4A p. 146') A character may kneel or drop prone at any time, as long as he is not surprised (see Surprise, p. 165). A character who is surprised may not drop prone. Does the rule for dropping prone supersede the general rule about Free Actions or is this just another case of bad wording? |

It gets worse. Hold on, I'll find the quote again:
QUOTE SR4A, 165: The surprised character can, however, carry out other actions that are not specifically directed at any surprising characters, such as dropping prone or readying a weapon (but not firing it). That doesn't explain whether or not it's a free action, but it specifically contradicts p146.
