My gaming group has been debating the Dive For Cover rule for a while now, and I was hoping you could shed some light on the reason why the skills Breakfall and Acrobatics cannot be used after preforming this manuver. I checked the FAQ about this, and the only answer given was that "no," Breakfall and Acrobatics could not be used to land on one's feet after performing Diving For Cover, which would negate ending up prone at the end of the manuver. A few of my players feel that Breakfall and Acrobatics should be allowed to be used with this manuver, but I feel that there must be a reason that the FAQ state that it is not allowed. I assume it is some form of balance of the mechanics of the game, but I can't seem to figure out what the balance is. Could you please detail your thoughts on this ruling?
