Change Posture

Change Posture is a maneuver that "lets you switch between any two “postures” (stances in which you can pose your body). Valid postures are standing, sitting, kneeling, crawling, lying prone (face down), and lying face up."
==Quick Reference==
*Movement: None. You remain in place as you change posture.
*Active Defense: Any. Postures other than standing penalize your defense rolls, but also make you a smaller target for ranged attacks.
==Posture Table==
Posture 	Attack	Defense	Target	Movement

* Only reach “C” melee attacks are allowed.
† If attacker is at the same or lower elevation and farther away than his own
height, he attacks your torso as if it were half exposed (-2 to hit), and cannot
attack your groin, legs, or feet at all. If you also have your head down, he cannot
attack your neck, eyes, or face.
