Yes, the rulebook say that you can't attack while prone (except for shove) but you can parry. Also, you can dodge which means that you don't have -2 to avoid getting prone while dodging, because you are already prone.

Hello. I'm taking advantage of this post to ask questions about shove and parry.

I have a couple of questions about the "shove" action. The manual mentions that you need 2 successes if your opponent has more Toughness than you. Is that Toughness your total or your current Toughness?

On the other hand, I haven't found any bonuses or penalties for dodging/parrying shoves, disarms, or ranged attacks, unlike slashes, stabs, and punches, which are mentioned as having bonuses or penalties. Can you tell me what the bonuses or penalties are for disarming, shoving, and shooting?

Current Strength (it is called Strength in English) is used for Skill Rolls. If it doesn't say "current", you use the starting score.

The only modifiers for Dodge and Parry are against Slash, Stab and Punch/Kick attacks and a -2 if you want to remain standing.
