	Sneaking and sometimes other activities using [[recon (Action)\|Recon]] are often a group activity.

			=== Recon Defense ===
			Trigger Action (Defense)

			When a Recon stunt is made against you, you can defend. This adds +3 to the Recon skill used as the difficulty for the current shot.
			In a situation where shots are not counted, defending means you are not fully participating - you play defensive rather than engaging in the situation - which means you can't initiate actions or make stunts of your own.
