Take Cover

Main > Actions > Take Cover

Action Type: Move Action

You press yourself against a wall or duck behind an obstacle to take better advantage of cover.

If you would have standard cover, you instead gain improved cover. If you would have soft cover, you instead gain standard cover. If you would have no cover, you may be able to gain soft cover if the GM agrees.

Alternatively, for any level of cover from (soft, improved, or total) you can gain total cover with a Standard Action.

Take Cover lasts until you move from your current space, use an attack action, become unconscious, or end this effect as a free action.
