Suppressed (Pinned by Fire)

Hugging cover under autofire: -4 attack/DEX skills, no AoO, cannot move without provoking a free shot at flat-footed AC.

A suppressed character is jammed into cover because someone is hosing their position with automatic fire -- rounds cracking off the bulkhead, splinters flying, nowhere safe to put their head up. While suppressed they take -4 on attack rolls and Dexterity-based skill checks, cannot make attacks of opportunity, and may not voluntarily leave their current cover. If they try to move anyway, the suppressor gets one free ranged attack resolved against their flat-footed AC. The only way out is nerve: a Will save (DC 10 + suppressor's BAB + weapon autofire rating) lets them break and move half speed under fire -- the suppressor still takes the free shot, but at +0. The suppressor must have spent a full-round Suppressive Fire action to lay the beaten zone in the first place.
