Semi-Upright

Cost: -5 points
Semi-Upright is an exotic physical Disadvantage where a character or creature is primarily horizontal but can stand upright for shorter periods of time, such as a chimpanzee, gorilla, or even most bears.Basic Set: Characters, p.153 This allows a creature to stand upright and use their forelimbs--for instance, to carry babies, or manipulate objects. While some animals can rear up on their hind limbs, semi-upright creatures can do it for much longer periods of time, and more-or-less comfortably.
Creatures with semi-upright can manage to move around upright (without their forelimbs) at x0.6 their usual Move, and typically can't utilize any Enhanced Move (Ground) abilities while doing so. Those with DX 12 or more may be able to carry a small object or two, if they have the hands for it.
== Errata ==
For a long time, B456's stats for two kinds of apes neglected to include this disadvantage in their writeups. In the 7th printing (February 2020) of Campaigns, it was added.
