Default Re: Attacking a prone figure - adjDX for both time of attack and to hit?

I don't find it unrealistic that a figure throwing a knife from far away might hesitate to do so more than a figure simply thrusting with a knife, because he is somewhat less confident in his maneuver or because he needs a moment to make subconscious trajectory calculations. I don't find it worth it to make any house rules about it.
Whatever is or isn't the most realistic thing, I believe it is best game design to always base relative order on fully adjDX rather than trying to track separately your 'order' adjDX and your 'to hit' adjDX.
