 === Falling Flat ===
 When an action or ability states that it causes you or a target to “Fall Flat”, you make a roll with any die you choose. If the number on the die is even, you gain the Supine condition, if the number is odd, you gain the Prone condition. Given the context, the GM may decide the outcome of falling flat without need for a die roll. For example, if the action used to cause the target to fall flat is used in a directional manner, the GM may decide the target specifically falls backwards or forwards.
