Postures
Attack: The modifier when making a melee attack from this posture. There is no effect on ranged attacks.
Defense: The modifier to all active defense rolls.
Target: The modifier to hit your torso, groin, or legs with a ranged attack. No penalty to strike other hit locations, if they are visible from that posture.
Movement: The effect on movement. For tactical combat, movement point costs appear in parentheses, and note that a human occupies two hexes while crawling or lying down.
