# An [[SRD:Entangled|entangled]] character also takes a –4 penalty to [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]], which may affect his [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]]. 
# The defender loses any [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]]. This bonus doesn’t apply if the target is [[SRD:Blinded|blinded]]. 
# Most ranged weapons can’t be used while the attacker is [[SRD:Prone|prone]], but you can use a crossbow or shuriken while [[SRD:Prone|prone]] at no penalty.
