Characters struck in ranged or melee combat may be knocked back, or possibly down by the blow. When struck, the character must make a Body Test. Against ranged attack, the target is equal to one-half the Power of the attack, rounding down. Against melee attacks, the target number is the opponent's Strength. Two factors determine the success of this test: the number of success rolled and how severely damaged the character is.
If the character rolls no successes, he falls down (prone). If he rolls successes but does not generate enough for his wound level, the character remains standing but takes a step or two away from the direction of the attack. Characters who take Deadly wounds are always knocked down.
Against weapons firing gel rounds the target number for the Body Test to resist knockdown is against the full Power of the attack.
