Helpless

A character who is Helpless is very vulnerable. Helpless characters gain no bonus from Defense (and no benefit from Dexterity, but cannot have their Defense increased, even if they have a negative Dexterity) against attacks.
You may use surprise attacks on Helpless foes.
Unless otherwise restricted, Helpless characters may act normally during their turn in combat. They might, for instance, be denied the ability to move with Inflict Movement, but still have two actions they can use otherwise.
