The current implementation of the !crawl function doesn't make a great deal of sense.

As it stands, you get +3 armor class to all attacks, and a move speed debuff. The move speed debuff can be negated by freedom of movement, which means it is just three points of 'free' armor class.

The p&p interpretation of crawling is that it gives you +4 AC vs ranged attacks, -4 AC vs. melee attacks, and -4 attack with melee weapons. Additionally it requires an action to stand up from crawling.

If people had a crawl widget (item's special power self only) that required an action to use and toggled crawling with the p&p modifiers, it would encourage more tactical use of crawling - people would benefit from crawling in certain tactical circumstances rather than all.

Well the thing is...there is no action (sides social server emotes.... lets not get into that) that depects the actions between standing and laying down. Now, the "crawl" animation has been updated on the vault to include push ups and, laying down. As for the +AC/-AC, +AB/-AB i can imagin it would be rather diffcault to implenty depending on the weapon used. Now if it isnt, then i suggest increasing AB for ranged weapons while laying down D:>

Which i'm sorry for hyjacking you're thread to post this but heres the link to the "updated animations"
