If the character takes a player turn without taking the Take Aim or Attack actions, any carryover bonuses from previous rounds are lost. The maximum dice pool bonus from the use of this action is equal to the character's Willpower. A character may take aim with a ready firearm, bow, or exotic ranged weapon. If the character is using image magnification or a targeting scope, the Take Aim action must be used to line up the shot in order to receive any bonus from the item.

Hits on the test allow a character to move a number of meters equal to their hits in a direction of their choosing, but they shouldn't know the results of the scatter until after they decide which way they're headed. If they choose to move more than 2 meters, they dive to the ground at the end of their defense and gain the Prone status.
