the only thing that bugs me a little is the advantaging of people with a lower DEX than you on the turn you fall down. It feels odd that less nimble folks would be the ones able to take advantage. But it is not a big enough bug to be worth changing the rule over. Any solution I can think of would result in a much more complicated rule for little gain. KISS - Keep It Simple Steve

Is the proposed change is to stand up during Movement Phase rather than during Action Phase? It makes sense to me that standing up would be a movement. Would a figure who stands up be able to act in the subsequent Action Phase or standing up still be their only action for the turn?

Either way I think allowing the person who knocked you down to get a +4 swing at you seems realistic.
