Prone, Reflex Saves and Dexterity AC


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Let's say I wanted to drop prone. I understand that I will gain +4 Dodge AC against ranged attacks and -4 AC against Melee, but would I lose my Dexterity to AC? Also would rogues be able to do sneak attack damage against me?

Moreover, if prone, would I be denied a Reflex Save if, let's say, a Fireball was shot at me?


"Prone: The character is lying on the ground. A prone
attacker has a –4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot
use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow). A prone
defender gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against ranged
attacks, but takes a –4 penalty to AC against melee attacks.
Standing up is a move-equivalent action that provokes
an attack of opportunity."

No - nothing about losing your Dex bonus. You can still roll out the way of attacks or whatever.
